Hello SCN,

My name is Pravin. I live in US and a citizen. Some of my friend's in IT convinced me to go into IT as it holds promising future. I recently completed a SAP BASIS training via IT consultant company. I found this company from SULEKHA.com My background is in BIOLOGY, so i'm switching gears here. I enjoy working with technologies. I am an END user for SAP ERP system in my current manufacturing job. Now I have learned the theory of SAP basis, not that i have mastered it, but i'm working toward it. i feel confident that i can find a solution or at least know where to look for answers for basis related job. however, can someone please advise me on how to approach or dive into the job market with no prior experience in SAP basis? are there companies willing to hire newbies? what else can i do to make myself visible? if you were in my shoes at some point in your career, what did you do? any thoughts, feedback is appreciated. I want to thank you in advance.

Hi Pravin,


Please advise me on how to approach or dive into the job market with no prior experience in SAP basis? are there companies willing to hire newbies? what else can i do to make myself visible?

There are companies who hire freshers and train them in required technologies. I feel that it would be helpful if you find such companies and try to approach them. Companies may not prefer freshers, but there will be chances for those who have good knowledge and lucky enough to get selected for interview. Try building your LinkedIn profile and ask your connections if there are any chances for you in their companies. Approach referral programs in companies. Be active and updated on recruitment websites. Meanwhile develop your skills.



If you were in my shoes at some point in your career, what did you do?

I feel that one should not just be convinced to get into IT filed. Make sure that it interests you.

Hi Nikhil,

Thank You very much for your feedback and suggestions. I want to transition into IT for many reasons, for one and very obvious reason is that IT has integrated into every business that you can think of. I enjoy it and I see myself working in this field for rest of my career. Manufacturing relies heavily on technologies and given that i have manufacturing skills, i feel that learning IT side of the spectrum will benefit a lot. Please reply your thoughts if you have any.
