Re: [sap-career] Certification or work exp?

Point 1: Many people get certified and are never able to find a job that
they are certified for (ie. consulting or permanent position configuring /
developing SAP). So by certifying first, you put your money at higher risk.

Point 2: However, getting that first job in the industry is extremely
difficult, with or without certification!

I think I would start by attempting to get a job in the field. You may
fail, but you will certainly find out for certain what you need to have to
get the first job. If you get in then you can go back for your
certification later. It will increase your growth potential. If you don't
get in then you can either attempt to remedy what you lack (and try again)
or move on to a better environment.

Subject: Certification or work exp?

Hi Experts,

Thanks to all for your replies to my earlier query which was regarding academic qualification for SAP.

And based on your suggestions, I have make up my mind to go for certification and next week i was planning to take admission for certification,but some consultants and friends are suggesting to get some exp in SAP before go for certification because even after certification people dont get job because of lack of exp.But this is also true without certification and exp ,how can i get a job ,i am totally confused.

So please guide me what is better to go for certification or to find a job first and once 1 have gained 1-2 years exp then go for certification as I have already gain good knowledge of SAP.

Thanks.
