interview persuasion parts I & II

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

I hope you’ve been following my recent series called “Interview Persuasion” — I’m going over the fundamentals of persuasive speech, especially as it pertains to doing very well on your SAP interviews. And the response has been really overwhelming. I don’t remember ever receiving so many positive email notes and good words of encouragement. I’m going to be releasing the third video very soon, but I wanted to post the first two here so you can comment and watch them again if you haven’t already.

Before you watch part two, please download the learning styles framework cheat sheet (PDF) - it will really help to have a copy of this while you’re watching part two.

Part One: Ethos

What do you think of these videos? if you’d like me to release the third, please let me know by posting a comment below. If you have a story about an SAP interview, or a question about “interview persuasion” please share it here as well.

Have you been trying to get a job in SAP with little or no success? Have you noticed that freshers are claiming 6 years of SAP experience, and therefore even experienced consultants with 5 years of legitimate experience aren’t being considered for jobs?

Please share your experience:

  • How long have you been studying?
  • How many interviews have you had?
  • Did these interview go well?
  • Have you received any offers of employment?
  • I believe that one can become fully trained and qualified to contribute successfully on an SAP implementation in far less than 5 years. But you have to have the right sort of training. And you have to have a strategy to address the “Catch-22″ in the marketplace. Perhaps most importantly, you have to be going after the right skills. I wouldn’t be studying MM, SD, or FI if I was new to SAP.

    So how do you move beyond the Catch-22?

    If you’re not familiar with the famous book by Joseph Heller, by “Catch-22,” I mean the following:

    1. You can’t get a job working in SAP without experience.
    2. You can’t get experience in SAP without getting a job.

    Please share your thoughts and experience!
