Question1
The respective job that I have taken into consideration for myself is that of Business Analyst.
The job of a business analyst is to create a detailed business analysis where he or she has to
outline problems, solutions, opportunities and recommendations of the business. The activities of
a business analyst includes creating a budget and forecasting, defining business requirements and
reporting them back to the stakeholders. The job of a business analyst is not only challenging and
requires patience, perseverance and an analytical bent of mind but also intriguing and interesting
at the same time. The job of a business analyst is not monotonous. The job has multidimensional
and multifaceted angles which makes the profession interesting and commendable (Debortoli,
Müller & vom Brocke, 2014).
