Interview Question Help Please Guys!

Post by n1k85 » Sun Jun 03, 2012 11:52 am

Morning Guys,

I am in the process of applying for a job as a business analyst. The company builds new homes and apartments etc.

Prior to the interview there is a large questionnaire to go through on their website with a wealth of in depth questions about prior experiences etc etc.

I have confidently made my way through the whole lot over the last couple of days, however the final question has me totally stuck.

The role involves identifying procedures and processes that could be brought in to improve the running of the business etc.

The question is:

"How would you approach working with ICT colleagues to interpret business rules and requirements to establish technical systems solutions?"

I know what the question is asking and in my head I kind of know what I want to say, but I have no idea on now to actually word the response. I've been sitting here for 45 minites writing a few lines, then deleting over and over again. :evil:

Does anyone have any advice on how I can beging to word the response?

Any help would be amazing!

Thanks guys! :thumbsup:

That's great many thanks for that Graeme!

I've now finished the application and sent it off :thumbsup:

It's one of those where I genuinely think that 50% of the applicants will not even bother to go through the process of filling out the online form just due to the sheer amount of questions they are asking!

Certainly not one for the guys who just blanket their CVs out to 20 jobs at once, it took hours to finish it!

Thanks again!
