Dear vasanthkouluri:

One of the most suitable ways to find and secure the success is always to find a balance for you and other parties or people that work with you or against you. You have two hands: One to give and one to take!

You have at least two, out of eight years, marketable hand-on experience in retail. And you describe that you possess IT knowledge the frame of your Master's Degree in Science. (But only one module out of nine modules of your education.)

Do not forget, as many of our dear friends of experience on this forum, especially Mr. R. N. White and Mr. Roy Brookes, point out in countless times that even at the entry level of SAP expert: The demand of the market to a job seeker is high (sometimes is too high or out of the reach of a job seeker at the beginning or her/his career). But this is a fact that will not change. (On the same token: It is the reason why SAPers are the people who earn ones of the highest incomes in the IT market.)

Please find a balance with reasonable demand from your part to get hired into the field that is next to your dream of SAP (based on the above-referred). Willingness to compromise is a crucial part, especially, at the beginning of your personal career. (Years from now, when you look back at this time of your life: You will recognize the undeniable impact of your wise decision.)

Regards,

Subject: SAP IS Retail or MM or SD or any other Module?

First get on with a company that has SAP. Then volunteer to help out the
functional analyst there. Get several years as a super user for an SAP
module. Right now, you appear to have no useable knowledge at all of SAP.
Until that improves, you are dead in the water.

If you want to stay in Retail, you can't start in IS-Retail. You have to
start in it's backing module. In this case, I believe that would be SD, but
I'm not an expert in that area. So, in a few years, you could start looking
at entry into the SAP functional arena...
