Hi Reddy,

Congrats for certification program.

Are you a fresher ? When did u passed out ? (2012/ 2013..??? ) What is your qualification ?

Now a days its very difficult to get the career break for a fresher in SAP Job market.

With your certification , You have better chances.

I am a certified consultant , fortunately got the opportunity to get the offer from one of the MNC when I completed certification.

Do not worry. Be patient and keep practicing.All the best.

Suresh.

Hi Siri,

Its too costly,to do the certification.

It around costs 380000.If u want to do certification go ahead.

But think once.After certification also our knowledge matters.

So its better prepare all the technical concepts from abap,webdynpro and workflow.

every year in march month yash technologies will recruit freshers also.

prepare for aptitude as well.

If u Have any queries get back to me.

Regards,

Reddy.

Hi,

I know that its very difficult to get the job as a fresher.There are companies, still looking for SAP certified people and offering jobs.But these programs are limited in a year.

Ex: IBM recruits SAP certified consultants and train them, and place in a suitable project.

I can say its all hard work, social network and luck that matters. Keep practicing SAP and get in touch with the people who are working in SAP.Most of the SAP fresher jobs are  employees referral programs where we are unable to see the openings in job searching portals. This is the reason for a job seeker to maintain good contact of people working in different companies.

All the best.

Regards,

Suresh.

Hello

Certification is your asset which will help your to attract companies to their opening but its not a offer letter. So its not mandatory for getting a job you should be certified but if you are certified then you will be the preferable candidate.

Hello

As i wrote in reply of Siri, How the certification help to getting a job.

So you should be confident on the things you have learned and keep practicing. and do a search of companies who are using/working on SAP and upload your profile on their career and keep tracking the job portal sites.

Hi Purushotam,

Congrats on your certification, If you have done your true hard work you are working to eat the fruit of the hard work soon. Here are my suggestions:

1) You should start building your profile in LinkedIn

2) Add all your professor in it

3) If you have done any external project or intership in any company you should add them as well in your contacts.

4) Ask for their recommendation for all the contact you build in Linkedin.

5) Keep searching opportunity in all the source like Internet, Newspaper (not only Hindu) etc.... [ If fact i got my break in SAP LABS while I was going through Indian Express Newspaper) ] so don't limit by yourself by applying only online. Keep floating your resume.

6) Most important you should be confident and believe in yourself that you are going to get a job in ABAP and keep practing.

Hope this helps.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

Yes, all the comments are correct. It is difficult to get good score like you and to get into SAP industry as a freasher. You must continue searching for jobs. there are many MNCs that have specific openings for freshers who are certified. hopefully there should be same now. To begin with, you can start with some smaller companies not paying attention to package or location. post a couple of years, you shall have all you need for a MNC.

Good luck

i have only one suggestion - practice well and search for all opportunity.

If you give your best no one will reject you (Co. need good knowledgeable people)

Dont look for any money - just try to get any project /work .

Money and all  will come later .

Suggest you to practice well and good ,try all possible ways. Be patient
