Lucky you. Got placed directly into SAP. Its quite difficult getting an entry job in SAP.

tom,

thanks a lot for ur appreciation, still i am facing the challenges but i have determined that i will be the sap basis consultant , i wil really appreciate if u can guide me how to move further, as i am in a production unit where i don't think i will get some implementation experience in next 5 yrs,

Thank's Tom for Your direction and i have posted this in career center.

Hi Thomas,

Hi Tom,

I started from 1-2 level support (mostly sd module) but did many other things (abaping as well) and soon covered 2-3 levels support in sap logistics.

Of course, this way looks like an exception...

Hi Tom,

Congratulations for the SCN member of the month recognition.

I am in the process of starting up my SAP BASIS certification.I work in a company that is not running on SAP. I have bought the book SAP Administration- Practical guide by Sebastian Schreckenbach.I have just started reading the book and hope to do my certification exams in a month's time.Am I on the right track?  Have a bachelors degree and 4 years in support of hardware, software and databases but virtually zero in SAP support.

Is there any other book you would recommend to a beginner like me? Where can i also find other resource materials?

Thanks

Bonnie.
