Tough Jobs

My previous post made me think of jobs that are tough because they require special skills or maybe a special combination of skills to perform well. The BA (Business Analyst in the information technology area) job is such a job. BAs need business skills/knowledge, technical skills/knowledge, facilitation skills, and so on. Some BAs come from a very technical background. Some come from a business background.

In one of my BA roles/jobs, I recall there was a “steady flow” of BAs. BAs came on the project and quickly left the project. The manager found fault with most of them. I stayed on the project for quite a while. I overheard the manager say that I learn quickly.

FEATURED

I am working to be published.

I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability.
