What an entry-level Business Analyst resume needs

One page, one column and standard headings, so an applicant tracking system reads it cleanly. A short summary that names the Business Analyst role. Experience, internships, campus jobs or projects written as bullets that start with a verb and end with a result and a number. A skills section that uses the exact words in the job posts you're applying to. This week's posts most often ask for Excel, SQL, Power BI, Tableau. The example doesn't list Tableau, Statistics; add them only if you really have them.

No experience yet?

Use projects, coursework, clubs, volunteering and part-time jobs. Describe each the way you'd describe a job: what you did, which tools you used, and what happened because of it. Any honest number helps: how many people, items, hours, dollars or percent.
