frustrated?
Monday, March 1st, 2010Have 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!
