Experience, Skills, and Personality Traits
Those who want to become credit analysts should obtain a college or university degree in accounting, finance, or business administration, in addition to taking computer and communications classes. They should gain experience through internships in banks and other financial institutions.
Credit analysts are first and foremost adept with numbers. They must be able to sit for long periods of time, analyzing reports and other financial documents. Credit analysts also should be comfortable with people. Since they handle sensitive information, it is important that clients trust them. If they are working with businesses, they most likely must travel to those businesses and meet with key contacts.
