Analytical skills are critical to success in this role at Standard Bank. In which ways are you analytically-minded?

"As a business analyst, I use my analytical skills when detecting patterns in financial trends, observing and interpreting data, theorizing on where the market is going, or brainstorming ideas for my clients when their decisions depend on multiple market factors. I take pride in my analytical abilities because they help me to do my job well and provide helpful answers to my clients' biggest questions."

"Given my university experience, I think of my analytical skills as one of my strong suits as a finance professional. As a computer science and finance double major, I regularly engaged in projects that allowed me to gather and organize data, perform various analyses to draw conclusions, and finally communicate how these data-informed trends would impact solutions to the project. I was a le to learn R, Python, and MatLab to aid in this process. As a result, I consider myself to be an analytical and logical thinker, which I think will be helpful in working with clients to make well-thought-out and data-informed financial decisions."
