Секретами прохождения интервью на позицию BA поделилась Мария Коцупалова (Lead Business Analyst) 👩‍💻
4 года в бизнес-анализе, 150+ интервью, 3 года преподавания и море обаяния — краткий профессиональный портрет Марии 🌟

Нет универсального BA-инструмента 🙅‍♀️

На собеседовании мне важно понять, что человек знает и понимает, зачем использовать тот или иной инструмент бизнес-анализа. Даже если какой-то подход является best practice, это не значит, что он применим везде.

Самопрезентация, тайминг, суть 📌

“Расскажите, пожалуйста, о себе за 3 минуты”, — прошу я каждого кандидата. Один из ключевых навыков BA – соблюдать тайминг.

Важно и то, что человек считает важным рассказать про себя. Мой совет: 1 предложение о своем предыдущем опыте, 2 предложения — о текущем проекте и мотивацию, почему вы здесь, зачем вам эта возможность.

Ключевые черты характера BA 🔎

📎 Критическое мышление. Важно собрать все точки зрения, аргументы и грамотно все анализировать.
📎 Гибкость. От BA требуется умение быстро переключать контекст.
📎 Любопытство. Чем лучше мы понимаем решения девелоперов, тем лучше мы будем подходить к постановке проблемы.

Можно ли BA без опыта попасть в Exadel? 🤔

Если у кандидата хватает теоретической базы, попасть в Exadel реально. На собеседовании джуну можно многое простить. Даже если он чего-то не знает, но старается, пытается догадаться, всегда хочется его поддержать.

Идеальный кандидат 🤩

Для меня идеальный кандидат — это человек, который контактактирует с интервьюером. Я стараюсь создать непринужденную обстановку, привести веселый пример.

Важны хард скиллз: знание типов IT-проектов, понимание методологий; темы, связанные с Requirements engineering (elicitation, analysis, specification, verification, validation, и management), технические компетенции и дизайн.

Как следует выспитесь и подумайте, что сказать о себе 💡

Это основная рекомендация по подготовке к интервью. Все остальное — ваш опыт и понимание, зачем использовать те или иные техники.

🔹🔹🔹EN🔹🔹🔹

Mariya Kotsupalova (Lead Business Analyst) shares secrets on how to succeed in an interview for a BA position 👩‍💻
4 years in business analysis, 150+ interviews, 3 years of teaching, and exceptional charisma — this is Masha’s professional portrait 🌟

There are no universal BA tools for any situation 🙅‍♀️

I always need to understand that a candidate knows and understands this or that BA tool. Even if some approach is best practice, it does not mean that it is applicable everywhere. Everything depends on the context.

Self-presentation, timing, the essence 📌

I ask each candidate: “Please tell me about yourself in 3 minutes,” And 3 minutes are essential here. One of BA's key skills is to keep timing. We work with extremely busy stakeholders who may only have 30 minutes a month to communicate with us.

Key BA’s features 🔎

📎 Critical thinking. BA shouldn't take anything for granted.
📎 Flexibility. Be ready to switch the context quickly.
📎 Curiosity. We have to poke our noses in everything, especially in the development process.

Is it possible for a BA without experience to become an Exadeller? 🤔

Why not? If you know the theoretical base quite well, you are welcome. We provide mentors who’ll help you to dive into the processes and get prepared for a production project.

An ideal candidate 🤩

An ideal candidate is a person with whom I can easily get into rapport. I always joke, create a relaxed atmosphere, and give funny examples. I expect from a candidate the ability to be on equal ground with me.

Hard skills are essential too: understanding of IT-projects methodology; requirements engineering (elicitation, analysis, specification, verification, validation, and management).

Get a good sleep and think about what to say about yourself 💡

This is a basic advice on how to get prepared for an interview. Your experience and understanding of certain techniques usage will tell for yourself.

A good book always helps to keep up the spirits 💡

The participants of the Exadel Bookworm Club eagerly share a list of books which can support our psychological wellness and help us adjust to a rapidly changing environment:

📖 "Getting Things Done" by David Allen
This is a time-tested bestseller translated into 30 languages, and that's for a good reason! This book is a roadmap on setting goals, prioritizing, and work with incoming information and tasks. Read the book to get the answers!

📖 "Games People Play: The Psychology of Human Relationship" by Eric Berne
This smash-hit book by a world-famous psychiatrist is a key to building open and sincere relationships, solving conflicts, understanding other people's behavior, and the true nature of our actions.

📖 "Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment" by Daniel Kahneman, Cass Sunstein, Olivier Sibony
When a Noble Prize winner writes a book, it is worth reading! Especially when it researches why people tend to take polar opposite decisions concerning an issue or have diametrically opposed views on a quite straightforward matter.

📖 "Think Again. The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know" by Adam Grant
"If knowledge is power, knowing what we don't know is wisdom" is Adam Grant's credo. He proves this idea with his witty and encouraging book showing the importance of doubt and rethinking.

📖 "Futureproof 9 rules for humans in the age of automation" by Kevin Roose
AI and algorithms have been conquering the world, and we are happy with that. But what does it mean to be human in such a world?

#Exadel_ExpertAdvice

Exadel is expanding, and so does the list of locations available for our employees to live and work in 🌍 Nevertheless, relocation is not only the beginning of a new life but also a whole lot of questions with visas, legalization, etc.

Our Global Mobility Manager Darya Hryshanovich knows how not to go insane from all the paperwork 💬

🎙 Is a law degree necessary to work as a Global Mobility Specialist?

A legal background is not required but preferred. The main thing is that a person claiming this position should understand the main regulatory legal acts, existing legal mechanics, and know where to look for this or that law.

🎙 What qualities are crucial to succeed in this or a similar role?

✔️ Perseverance.
✔️ Analytical thinking and staying one step ahead.
✔️ Critical thinking.

🎙 What are the most common tasks you work on?

The main task is to ensure that all foreign employees have the appropriate documents.
Exadel takes over the entire legalization procedure, so I help our relocated employees with the whole process.

🎙 What do you especially like about your work?

I am constantly attending webinars and events dedicated to legislation regarding foreign citizens. I like listening to different opinions and moving forward. I often come across interesting cases that require more time to solve.

A huge advantage is independent work. At Exadel, no one breathes down my neck or controls every step.

The company gave me a unique opportunity to participate in building processes. We are actively expanding the staff and looking for new candidates. So, if they have new ideas for optimizing and improving processes, we will gladly listen 😊

Now we are looking for specialists in Poland, Lithuania, Hungary, and Georgia. See our open vacancies 👇

“Tamed” 5895 meters above sea level, saved the team from the buzzer beater, stacked the pads… It’s all about Anton Ogiy (Lead Software Engineer) 🧑‍💻 who told us how he manages to combine passion for mountaineering and hockey👇🏼

Impossible is possible 💪🏼
Seven years ago, I decided to change my life. I chose to go into mountaineering 🙃. It was a bit like an adventure, because until that time I had the only experience of an independent trip - to Thailand.

Come back alive, not climb the mountain 💡
I love mountains with all my heart. It's great to be alone with my thoughts while hiking, meditate on life or try not to think at all. Mountains are a great way to escape from routine and have a rest. Climbing fortifies willpower. I had 3 attempts to climb Mount Elbrus. In total I had 8 ascents of 5 mountains.

My last peak! ⛰
The last time I went to Kilimanjaro, I thought that this was my last mountain. But then you go down, return home, sleep off and see what's next on the list 😊

Not only mountains 🏒
I play as a goalie in the amateur team of the Dinamo-Minsk fan club – ByZone. I started 5 years ago, for two years in a row, I worked with a personal trainer, and then he proposed me as a candidate for a team that was just gathering. In April, we took first place in the amateur hockey league, in the “beginner” category. My team and I have been going to this victory for 5 years.

Pleasure and adrenaline 🔄
Victory and medals are always a nice bonus, but interest, drive and passion are much more important. If the mountains are about challenging yourself, then hockey brings the pleasure of the game itself, the joy of teamwork, maximal concentration and adrenaline. Nothing can be compared to the feeling when you save a game at a decisive moment.

What's next? 💬
I dream of running the New York and Boston marathons, playing in the NHL and, of course, conquering more heights 😊
