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:

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!

I really break down the big box and payment plan ($1 trial) pricing for you here.

I’m just totally humbled and overwhelmed by your response, backing me up against the threats by the unethical (and probably defunct) recruitment organization. If you haven’t yet, take a moment to read some of the blog comments we’ve received. Some of them are hilarious - and also sad because many times we rely on recruiters. Please take a moment to watch my follow up video to your responses.
