Bethany Rein was a Capacity Planning Analyst with some online writing experience and previous work experience in systems implementation and technical customer service before starting her business analyst career.
Her first BA experience was as a user rep (otherwise known as a subject matter expert) for a development project, where she got to see a great BA in action and started asking questions.
After lots of questions asked and lots of reading and researching, she interviewed for and accepted an Associate BA position in November 2011.
She attributes her success to an awesome mentor and her willingness to seek out information (including the Bridging the Gap blog posts, free email course and LinkedIn group), a technical aptitude, an understanding that communication needs to be flexible and meaningful to the intended audience, and an enthusiasm for taking on new challenges.
