Ryan Brunner has over ten years of experience recruiting, interviewing, and hiring candidates in the healthcare, public service, and private manufacturing/distribution industries.
While the tools that Business Analyst use can vary greatly between industries and even companies, your interviewer is looking to get the sense that you are a resourceful employee that has a good working knowledge of many different types of software programs. While being honest in your answer, try to show diversity in your answer by talking about data specific software, word processing software, presentation software and any other programs that you see fit for this role with RBC Capital Markets.

"Being very computer proficient, I consider myself an expert on the Microsoft products like Excel, PowePoint, Access and Outlook to help perform my job effectively. As well, I have very good knowledge of SQL databases as well. If hired here at RBC Capital Markets, are there any standard software products that I would be required to work on and learn?"

I try to program and automate tasks when possible. Coding is an extremely powerful tool. By doing certain tasks programmatically, you can make those tasks very efficient and scalable. For example, you could write a script that performs comparable company analysis in a matter of minutes simply by inputting a ticker symbol and maybe the tickers of some comparable companies, although that might not even be necessary. This could be done in a matter of minutes, whereas doing a comparable companies analysis from scratch may take hours or even days using a spreadsheet program.
Marcie's Feedback
Nice! This is a great example. Are you speaking from experience? Have you personally used coding to automate tasks before? If so, be sure to emphasize that you've done this before and aren't speaking theoretically. Otherwise, great answer!
