LANDING YOUR FIRST BUSINESS ANALYST POSITION ISN’T AS FAR OFF AS YOU THINK…

Use my 5 simple step system to learn how to utilize the skills you already have to craft the perfect Business Analyst resume, find the job you really want, impress your interviewers, and negotiate the salary you deserve.

After over 10 years working as a Business Analyst and 7 years hiring, training, and managing them, I’ve learned everything there is to know about what it takes to land your first Business Analyst position.

Now I want to help you leverage that information by giving you the 5-step process that I’ve developed over the years, so you know exactly what you need to do to start your career in Business Analysis.


What’s included in this course:

  • The BA Guide’s Business Analyst Skills Assessment© that will help you learn how the skills you already have will fit into the Business Analysis world and discover what roles you’re best suited for.

  • The common mistakes other candidates make in their Business Analyst resumes so you can avoid them - as well as how to ensure yours is compelling enough to get you noticed… and then get you the job.

  • Insider info from a veteran Business Analyst hiring manager on what impresses interviewers, so you can ace every interview you get.

  • Plus, my surprising tip that won’t take you long to do but will keep you top of mind long after the interview and ensure you remain their number one candidate.

BONUS! – In addition to my 5-step system for landing your first Business Analyst position, this course also includes a bonus section where I use my industry experience to teach you how to negotiate for a more competitive salary – without scaring off or upsetting potential employers.

Course enrollment grants you lifetime access, with no expiration, to all the course lectures, activities, handouts, and quizzes. In addition, you’ll also receive 1-on-1 support for any questions or uncertainties that come up. And this all comes with a money-back guarantee. You have nothing to lose and so much to gain.

Hi there! My name is Jeremy Aschenbrenner and I am so glad you have found me!

I am a veteran Business Analyst with more than 1000 completed projects. I've done business analysis work for companies in many industries including health care, telecommunications, automotive, trucking, consumer goods, financial services, food and beverage, and more.

I created The BA Guide to break down the barriers to becoming a Business Analyst. Throughout our various courses, I teach you what you need to know in order to start your Business Analyst career.  

But I don't just stop there. Once you have successfully started your Business Analyst career, I ensure you are successful by providing training on techniques, tools, and best practices.  

When I am not behind a computer I love to spend time with family and friends, enjoying some warm weather, and if I'm lucky, with a cold drink in my hand and sand between my toes.  

I am here to serve you so please don't hesitate to message me on Udemy or on social media. I look forward to helping you reach your goals.
