Hard to get the first experience

Hi all,

Please I would need suggestions.

I am new in SAP world, I have learned SAP MM online and managed to get the certification (SAP MM). I have to say that I don't have any experience in the field.

I have been looking for a job and it is quite hard because all employers are asking for at least 4 years of experience.

How can I overcome that?

Thank you very much

Dear Francis,

I would suggest you to get into the companies that are taking up support projects from tier 1 companies.

These tier 2 or tier 3 companies will not all the time look for experienced, They just recruit certified freshers and train them with real time objects and scenario's. and then place them in project.

You can try with these kind of companies.

Thank you so much Dear Nawin please do you have any ideas (for example websites) where I can find those kind of subcontracting companies? I am living in the States, I even made a research on internet asking for "junior sap mm positions" I ended up getting the website "recruit.net" but still, most of the positions advertised there are experienced.

Hi Francis,

Most companies ask for experience (maybe just to filter), but if you have an interview and you are very convincing about your motivation (and knowledge of course) I'm sure you can get a job.

In SAP the most difficult thing is to get the first job, then if you are good, you will end your carreer working with SAP 😉

Don't give up and stay motivated.

Nicolas.

Thank you very much Nicolas, one of the forum participant suggested me to look for companies that are taking up support projects from tier 1 companies because these tier 2 or tier 3 companies will not all the time look for experienced, They just recruit certified freshers and train them with real time objects and scenario's. and then place them in project.

I was wondering if there a best place (job websites)  to find those companies? do you have any idea?
