Let's just say that I learnt to slide rather than roll, and the value of a complete layer of good quality leather from practical experience... lots of practical experience..."oh sh@t, oh sh@t, this is gonna hurt..."
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.
English doesn't borrow from other languages.
English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

Couldn't afford leather at the time I'd just spent all of my cash on the best AGV lid I could afford.
So I put my foot on the seat, jumped off and curled up into a ball thinking all the time "oh sh*t etc."

Yeah, that's how I started, and how I learnt that good leather isn't a cost, it's an investment...and to slide instead of rolling.

I got the (Aussie Queensland) written test wrong a couple of times - on the same multiple choice question.
There was a picture of a crossroads, with no lane markings and no signs, with two or three cards and a motorcycle in various positions, variously indicating their required direction, and the question was who has right of way.
After guessing incorrectly twice, I queried the question. Where would I come across such a crossing, with no markings or signs.
"Outback you might" was the reply.
"And when I do, how likely is it that four other vehicles are there at exactly the same time and that they all know and respect the road rules?"
She told me the answer when I pointed out that what I would actually do in that situation, whichever vehicle I was in, would be to give way until it was safe to proceed.
I still can't remember the rule - & I'd been driving for nearly 30 years when I took that test (yes, I was a little tired)

I've been looking for a youtube of this: Radio 4's the Horne Section with Alex Horne[^] skip the Archers, it hasn't been the same since they introduced Rory. The best bit is the song about the dinosaur called Eleanor IMHO [edit] at about 12:35.
If you are outside the UK and it doesn't play, I've heard hiding behind a proxy isn't much use. They seemed to have them registered loads of them when the person I spoke to tried to stream the series of Dr Who from iPlayer when the UK iTunes released it over a week after the US one. To pluck an example totally at random.
[Edit]
While we're on the subject of the Archers, Ruth's accent is heading decidedly U, very surprising given she is surrounded by South-Westerners.

A very enjoyable show indeed.

I thought it was between Brum & Gloucester? Sort of Cotswold-ish. TBH my geography runs out after Yorkshire, all that is generically the south.

If someone want to pursue his/her career in BA. what must they learn first and where they can find best material/information online?
|

This site isn't your best source of information for that topic.
I suggest you start here[^].

There's a lot of stuff you'll need to be a BA; this may help[^].

I just love these question, they're so ripe for bad jokes! So here goes:
Actually, you have to unlearn a few things. Ethics comes to mind.
As to learning, I suggest you read the last 5 years of Dilbert as preparation for your career.

Hi Sathish,
Jokes aside, the first thing you must learn is research, which apparently wasn't done. Don't get me wrong, I''m writing this with the intent of helping you. Please look at the following links:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_analyst[^]
https://www.udemy.com/blog/business-analyst-job-description/[^]
After understanding the job better, you should pursue more knowledge on the line of business you wish to enter and always maintain yourself update with your IT skills even though the latter won't/shouldn't be as demanding as it is for a system analyst.
Good Luck

Thanks,
I think that was my first one since I started 3 weeks ago....

Great start, then.
If the OP finds it useful, then that's a task accomplished. This site needs more people like you.

I agree. We should only be posting CCC, movie quotes, pun threads, and other rubbish here. Asking for career advise here should be discouraged as much as possible.

There's the problem. We're not having many of those "most willing" ones here. The majority are going to post inanely stupid responses that are not even funny. And they don't do any other contribution here anyways. They just respond at every opportunity to mock or insult some poor bastard.
Mind you I did not help this dude myself because I felt that the answers are easily found with a search, and because he needs to ask more specific questions than "what's a business analyst", but I'm glad to see someone who is willing to offer some help.

I do hope that you're beginning to get the picture.
If someone wants to sign up to a message board and immediately treat it like a careers advice centre/CODZ PLEEZ repository, then the CP Lounge is the wrong message board.
There are perhaps umpty-eleven careers advice/CODZ PLEEZ message boards which are fit for that purpose, but, given most of the questions asked, Google is usually the best resource.
The response that you found so admirable to the OP's question itself contained a googled response from an existing member.
We are not here to Google for people. The Google web-site and a keyboard are available for that.

We're not here to Google for others, which I did mentioned too in my previous post.
But we have an unfortunate number of people here who do nothing but mock anyone given an opportunity.
