Dear Atifwaddo:

My respond to your two request letters attached below has two components:

Components Number One:
The content of your letters can serve as evidence that you are not only at one fork of the time but at multiple one. You are "doing a back end job which is no where concerned to SAP" (speak: no exposure to SAP at all). You are "working on Oracle 11oi" (speak: totally different from SAP in concept, in response and in usefulness etc.). You spent time, energy and money to complete your education in "MBA in Marketing and Finance 2010". And then you are "not at all satisfied with the wok" with the result that you "desperately need a chance and wanna go for SAP SD module" (speak: dissatisfaction, hopelessness and frustration.). Before your MBA you worked in sales for "eight months". For someone like you at the beginning of a professional career you have done too many things (and change your directions too many times) without a well structured frame and guidance. Nothing is wrong if a person wants to pursue multiple career lines. This person can only be successful if she or he knows that she possesses necessary capacity, capability and resources (Take a look at e.g. Larry Ellison the CEO and chairman of ORACLE corporation who runs a world class company with $32 Billions of annual income and at the same time enjoys his life to the fullest and he can allow himself to unnecessarily make a number of enemies etc.), and you, you will see the difference clearly. Compared to this person: You are at the initial step into your professional life! Should you decide to continue doing (or let thing happened the similar way) what you have done: The only result that is real and to be expected is frustration, dissatisfaction and hopelessness.

Take a serious moment, let the dust settle, receive the reflection and form the new line for your professional life. One thing must be clear to you: You DO have more than one thing (not only something) valuable to present to the market. Identify your items and your potential buyers. The process that delivers the success can then start.

Component Number Two:
On this forum, there is a wealth of information, recommendations, and discussions on how to get a job as beginner. All of them are posted here. Read ALL of them. Process them diligently and apply them to your case.
(Worrying about whether you would get a job after all your efforts in the future is useless at this time. You worry about the thing that will happens in the future that is too far away unless you have made the first real step into the right and promising direction.)

Should you still have reason(s) to request a specific answer to your case, the likelihood is exceptionally high that you will receive from the experts here on this forum.

Subject: Sap for MBAs

Dear Experts,

My name is Atif, I am an MBA graduate in Marketing and Finance 2010 passed
out, presently I am working with one of the IT company as back end support.
After doing MBA I am not at all satisfied with the work which is I'm doing
here. I desperately need a change and wanna go for SAP SD module from one of
the SAP education partners. I have 8 months of experience in sales prior to
MBA, so could you please guide me for my further actions. I would be
thankful to you if can show me the proper career path.

Thanks & Regards
Atif A Waddo
