Hey doc, calm down. This is a local forum for local people, we'll have no shouting here.

Gotta love this:

Not copied and pasted much, hmm?

I am really really asking me questions about the state of the SAP job market in India.

It seems very sad to me...

Would <b>real</b> SAP professionals from India like to comment on this ?

[Former Member]

The serious answer, as a SAP professional from India, would be a long one and may need another post (or rant, which I am sure to post one of these days).

Let us strip this one to the essentials though. The guy asks for interview questions (so he/she is going for one), and there are couple of cut-paste jobs.

About the first one, all we can say for sure is he/she is naive (to have posted this question here) and mannerless for disregarding the forum guidelines.

About the ones answering it, they are probably looking to earn points the only way they know (cut+paste).

- If I am going through a screening process, I try to collect all the info to be in maximum position of strength. Asking potential interview questions is only that - a part of preparation. If I apply for Harvard, I will still be looking for potential clues on how the application is processed. Speaking of Harvard, you can see a lot of aspirants looking on internet forums for ways to write their essays, and to write their profile in a way that has most chance of acceptance. There is a whole industry coaching such aspirants in all matters of selection process (the latest being the 'voluntary tourism' where you go to a third world country on a three star tour or 'learning program' with the intention of it making up for some 'substance' in your resume as a responsible global citizen - worthy of a top school).

Anyway.

As long as one doesn't ask the interviewer to 'leak' the questions, we can call it naivette, or have an impression of this candidate being otherwise unworthy, but not much else.

We can be cautious when hiring/working in such environment, but that is it as I see.

Hi Ajay,

Thanks for you post. I think there is a business idea in there: Interview prep courses for SAP job seekers. The even better one is SDN & BPX reputation optimization coaching.

Posting in all caps with lots of explanation marks would be covered in the first session as a big no no

Sweeping generalizations about one group of people or country would also be high on the list of things to avoid.

May be soon I will have enough of creating the coolest events ever with lukewarm sign up and branch out into this new territory

All the best, Mark.

I manage to watch the link before you delete it...Is that for real? Come on...People doesn't know what to do to get some money...

I'm sure that people that sign to that kind of pages...pass the interview...but a month before...they get fired because they really don't know what on earth they are doing...very sad....

P.S: Thanks for deleting the link -:) It could be dangerous in the wrong hands...

Greetings,

<i>People doesn't know what to do to get some money...</i>

True for me at least

As an aside, may work for interview questions / copyrighted material requesters, for a while may be.

[Former Member]

Ah! I was just waiting for the advertisement...BTW which method are you talking about?

[Former Member]

I meant sharing the conspiracy theory I have 'heard' of - of an FBI/CBI/some-other-BI sting asking for copyrighted material on SDN forums then tracing the person sending it

Ofcourse, you (and others) should be congratulated for being ever vigilant on the forums.

[Former Member]

Thankyou (if that was a compliment

My question is if that 'method' is effective, because to be effective it has to be understood, which in 98% of the cases, I believe it is not...

[Former Member]

I have seen it work at other forum, at least for a while. And, any bit of help non-moderators can do - including sharing such 'inside tips' - to curb unwelcome forum behavior - we would willingly do.

That was more of a fact than a compliment. Any voluntary work is much appreciated by everyone, and if it is done professionally - what more can you ask.

Someone once quoted 'Anything worth doing is worth doing for money.' , and try as often as I do to convince myself of it being true, I still find myself in fundamental disagreement with it - so much so that I sometimes find it to be true in reverse.

cheers,

ps : sorry for hijacking this thread.. This being a coffee corner, hope I will be excused....

[Former Member]

Thanks Ajay...yes, I really welcome all the help (and the good laughs) Looking forward to meet you at Community Day

> that for real?

I thinks it's real in the sense that it's a genuine spoof ... I've got to say, if it hadn't been posted by someone respectable I might not have caught it.

And no, I don't want to buy a bridge.
