Business case study interview questions

Congratulations! You got the call for an interview.

Your resume got your foot in the door, and now it’s your chance to shine.

You’re one step away from getting a Business Analyst position. That is – if you can make a good impression at the interview.

It’s time to prepare and do your homework so you’re ready for the interview.

Of course, you will wear your best business attire and show up between 10-15 minutes before the scheduled interview and remember to turn off your cell phone to prevent embarrassing interruptions. 

But, what about the interview questions?

Some interviews conducted with Business Analysts present questions in the form of working through a scenario.

The interviewer may present a case study and have you walk it through as you would on the job.

There will be other questions specific to each company, but some questions you may be asked are:

-Tell us about your education, work experience and qualifications.
-What are your strengths and weaknesses?
-What are your long-term goals? Where do you see yourself in 5-10 years?
-What sets you apart as the one we should hire?
-Why are you leaving your current job/Why did you leave?
-Explain your experience with the various testing stages.
-What job duty do you find most challenging and where do you excel?


Be prepared for your moment in the spotlight and make sure you have rehearsed your lines and your delivery so you can present yourself as a natural, not as a stage-fright-struck actor.

There is a right way and a wrong way to answer, both in what you say as well as how and when you say it.

Present a positive attitude, never speaking negatively of your current employer.

Be confident, but not overbearing or arrogant in your responses or questions.
