Dear Mr. Mehta,

I did my training at SIEMENS New Delhi, and Got Certified in SAP-FI on 29th
April. But Have got opportunity to attend only one interview, as most of the
requirements coming for SAP consultants having at least one implementation
experience. That was my concern. Even in that interview, though I qualified
technical, soft skill round, but in HR round, the Organization had shown the
concern that I might not be fit, as I am drawing a little high package and
it would be nearly impossible for them to accommodate or make any compromise
on that issue.

thanks

Dear Ambrish Nigam,

When did you get certified?

I am a (self-employed) trainer at SAP-authorized institutes in India. The experience of many of those who participate in the trainings where I was the faculty is that they get their first break within 1 month (most optimistic scenario) up to 3 months (realistic to pessimistic scenario). But the breaks do not materialize by themselves. You have to show initiative also.

The first break is something to be thankful for. Frankly speaking, looking for lucrative opportunities with no prior SAP implementation experience is a bit unrealistic. Keep doing your assignments well and the lucrative opportunities will, God willing, follow.

Try looking for jobs as an FI Consultant at this stage. Being a SAP Project Manager without hands-on implementation experience can be a nightmare (both for you as well as the team - with the usual exceptions to every rule). I've managed projects after being a MM Consultant in more than one implementation and still ended up with acidity (and many would say I got away lightly!!!!).

Regards,
Deepak
