Entry-level Positions for Aspiring Systems Analysts in Higher Education
Alejandra suggests that a Systems Analyst role, without a number designation, is an entry-level position to consider, as exemplified by their own role, and recommends focusing on job descriptions that specify "entry level" or a range like "zero to three years" of experience. Assistant analyst roles should also be considered when looking for entry-level positions in the field.

What entry-level positions are there in this field that an undergraduate or graduate student might consider?
My role is an entry-level position, similar to a systems analyst. I know there are different levels, like senior systems analyst or systems analyst one or two. My role is simply listed as "systems analyst."
When looking for a position, I recommend reading the job description. Mine specified zero to three years of experience, which was appropriate for me when I applied.
