本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛as to your question 1:
Accent is not that terrifying from my perspective, although it is your life-long task to improve it. AS long as client can understand you clearly what you are talking about, that's fine. In my group, there are some BAs who are not native english speaker(spanish, indian, just name a few), but they are all doing good job. the point is try to express yourself using natives's common language, terms. thisis a tough job for chinese, since usually we think in chinese first then translate in english, and this process sometimes confuses native speakers. this is totally a offline topic on english and communication skills, we can discuss that further.
2. when i was at the interview last year, I was told my career path would look like this, business analyst/senior Ba/Business specialish/business consultant, or you may choose the BA-PM(project manager) path which is totally a different one from the former and requires different skill set.
3. for educatoin, a industry specific experience will help you find a job in a particular industry, but it's only a 'nice to hvae' thing, not a 'must have' requirement. as for education, BA requires its own skill set, it's not necessarily that you have computer science degree or MBA, as long as you have the skills built on a related job(chinese experience is OK).
suppose you have mechanic degree, then you will know pretty well about specific area, and this will help yo find a BA job in manufacturing industry. Since I got BA experience in China, and I had a MBA degree, so find a BA position in bank is quite helpful. accoridng to my obersveration, some BAs in my area start from call centers, customer service, and they have some knowledge on business process.
to get a ba job, my suggestions:
1. thorough research on BA posting descriptions posted on workopolis, find out what employers need, what they require from a BA
2. fine tune your resume accordingly. you need to revise your resume over and over again, no pain no gain.
3. highlight those points that most employer consider important
4. improve spoken english, accent, expressions
