Can you tell us a few words about yourself?

Hello,

I was a student in my third year of college when a teacher told us that PPR organized an internship for students. 

At the internship opening, I was pleasantly surprised by the office and the professionalism of the people I met there. So I decided to do my best, and after three months of mentoring, they offered me a job within the team. I was pleased about that.

What moment were you most proud of yourself since working with us?

Since I was the beginning, I have made many mistakes. I am very thankful to the team for all the help and patience that I received from them.

As I progressed, I had multiple moments when I was so happy by practicing my work.

Whenever I help a client and see the meaning of my work, the times when I collaborate with the team and solve a mystery when I see our work well done, and whenever I observe the progress and beautiful results are the moments that I cherish.

According to you, what are a Business Analyst’s core competencies?

Analytical thinking, attention to detail, organization, communication, negotiation, and empathy for the client’s needs.

What are some key lessons you’ve learned so far?

Some key lessons would be:

• Don’t be afraid to fail or to say, “I don’t know, let me check and get back to you”;
• Take notes in the meetings; you’ll forget what was discussed later on;
• Think from all possible perspectives;
• Don’t lose the overview while looking at the details;
• And many, many more.

What would you advise somebody who wants to be a Business Analyst?

“Rome was not done in a single day.”

The process can be overwhelming sometimes. Could you take it step by step? Be organized, and go for it! 🙂
