Hi Cool Pixel,

Roy's post is helpful. I have marked it as helpful too. But I do not agree with "writing your CV so that what you have been doing looks like a continuation and expansion of your earlier SD consulting role and...." if as a sales manager IT you did not continue as SAP SD analyst (type role). Because it would be difficult to make it credible & going in to line manager position could be a natural progression, no harm doing that.

Reetesh has some "uncomfortable" yet surely-shall-be-asked in future interviews, questions. Please prepare some answers for them.

I think start with ONLY SD and then with time and training expand to other modules.

You might be having varied process knowledge (sales process, returns, credits, free delivery etc. etc.) that would be your strength. Along with communicating with business, when you take up the role of a consultant.

Maybe you know certain SD consultants, try to learn from them by having some meetings, also after training request them to forward your resume in their companies for jobs.

I think you shall have good success.

Subject: Career advice - move back into SAP?

Hi,

I am a 44 year old guy and am a senior sales manager in an IT company. about 11 years back i was a SAP SD R/3 consultant and completed a couple of implementations as lead SD consultant. for the last decade i have been in industry, in sales, in outsourcing, services etc.

My career has become stagnant for the last few years not only because of my seniority but also because of market conditions. i am seriously considering re-training in SAP and getting back into SAP.

I would appreciate good feedback and comments on this, and what kind of modules i should be looking to train into, what challenges, what opportunities.

thks
