Building Her BA Skill Set and Paid Contract Work During COVID-19: Becky Goll

It's my honor today to introduce you to Becky Goll. We recorded this interview when Becky was about halfway through The Business Analyst Blueprint training program. When I heard about what she was doing, I didn't want to wait until she had finished the program to get the full scoop. As you'll see, she'd already leveraged the program to secure paying, part-time contract work with a local CPA, in the middle of shelter-at-home orders due to COVID-19. In this interview, you'll discover: - Why Becky chose to invest in her skill set during a period of unemployment, and how she chose what to invest in. - The opportunity to apply your business analysis skills to help a small business provide virtual services. - How Becky turned volunteer work into paying contract work. - The differences in Becky's experience with project management roles, and business analysis techniques, and how that's informing her next steps. - How Becky is creating a work portfolio that can be leveraged in her business analyst job search.
