Problem

What was your role and responsibility in your previous company?

This question was asked in the HR stage. The reviewer noted: "role and responsibility in prev company."

The interviewer is assessing whether you can explain your position clearly, distinguish personal ownership from team responsibilities, and connect your work to business outcomes. Keep the answer focused on your Business Analyst responsibilities rather than providing a general company overview.

A strong response briefly covers your role, primary activities, stakeholders, decision-making responsibilities, and the value your work created. Use a specific example if it helps demonstrate ownership, prioritization, or influence, but do not rely on vague job-description language.
