Hindsight is 20/20, but might there have been clues during the interview that this job was going to suck? Improve your vision by keeping an eye out for these red flags.

1. You get asked strange questions

Web developer Dave Haynes thought it was a bit odd when a potential boss asked if he was offended by cursing. “I said, ‘No, I curse sometimes myself. No big deal.’” But after taking the job, it became apparent why the topic had come up. “The boss cursed ALL the time. Every sentence that came out of his mouth was filled with negativity and cursing. He cursed in e-mails and in comments in the code for the software we were writing. He cursed so much that I actually was offended (and later quit).”

SAP is a product bought with the intention of success, by companies which, given the costs of SAP, have done well in their own market.

At this point, I should point out that most SAP consultants and consultancies offer fantastic knowledge and value when deploying SAP – these people work hard to get the most from the SAP solution for the customers – these consultants, consultancies and end-customers suffer at the hands of the terrible consultants, as they have to manage them and work with them on a day to day basis, but the ultimate losers are the customers themselves. continue reading…

SAP Interview

An SAP Interview Process is no different from any other IT interview process. Depending on the type of job (Contract, Temp, Full time etc) the questions do vary though. As usual there are technical rounds, managerial rounds (if you are applying for an SAP PM role), HR round. Our focus through this article will be more on the technical and managerial rounds.

Technical Round

Technical interviews are mostly held by the tech leads, although project managers are part of the interview sometimes. When I mean technical, it could be for an SAP functional position, ABAP, Basis or other technical positions. Not all types of interviews have all of the following phases. For eg., a full time position or a contract-to-hire will involve more general questions, his/her project/achievement related questions activities etc while a contract position will involve more focussed questions on the module/specifics for which he is recruited for. continue reading…

When the economy slows, many businesses react by retrenching and cutting costs in order to weather the downturn.

While such cost reduction is important, companies often overlook equally critical strategic decisions—opportunities to use valuable business information to strengthen product and service offerings and emerge ahead of the competition. The paper highlights six common mistakes companies make in a down economy, and how organizations can use business intelligence to avoid them. The paper also includes a self-assessment questionnaire to determine the level of business intelligence opportunity across an organization.

In today’s economy, reorganizations are common, and you may find yourself suddenly overseeing employees who were once at the same level as you. While transitioning into a supervisory role can be exciting — and possibly signal a new phase in your career — it also means a shift in dynamics with colleagues, especially those who will now be reporting to you.

Your success taking on a leadership role is dependent on building positive working relationships with direct reports, and being able to exercise authority when necessary. Following are some steps to help make the switch from peer to manager as smooth as possible:
