Hello,
My name is Michel Rochette and I am seeking an intermediate Business Analyst Position.
As you will see from my enclosed resume, during my many years of experience as an expert system analyst, software designer and developer, I developed strong leadership, and communication skills.
I also have the ability to express complex concepts in simple words, tailored to the audience it is intended for. Whether it is for a introductory course to a computer language or a high-level presentation of a complex project to senior management.
These experiences and my strong customer service sense, makes me an excellent facilitator and trainer.
One of my instructors at MRU described a great BA as a “Jack of all trade” with a keen eye for detail but that also keep the big picture in mind. I do believe I fit this description very well.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Michel Rochette,
