If you are a SAP
Consultant and
decided that its
time to seek out
new
opportunities
that have better
compensation
package, new
challenges, or
employers that
provide betterlearning /
training then you need to create the best marketing tool, your
Resume. There are many different styles of resume as there are
professionals, so this article will focus on formats that work very
well for consulting.
Most people say that resumes should never be more than three or
four pages long but this does not apply on consultants as they can
easily have several different work or contracts over a few years.
Such experience will be recent and pertinent and, therefore must be
on the resume.
Agents, HR personnel, and prospective clients skim through many
resumes to find candidates with the qualifications they are looking
for. T he format suggested below gives the reader your key
information within the top half of the page.

Essential Information This defines who you are and how to
get in contact with you. Details such as name, address, phone
numbers, and e-mail address go here.
Formal Education List all you post secondary education,
including diplomas and degrees, SAP trainings, SAP
certifications, and other personal development course y ou
may have.
Technical Skill Set Details of y ou skill set goes here. This
includes programming languages, operating systems, SAP
versions, and software packages that you have strong
experience with. Remember to include software version
numbers whenever possible i.e. Microsoft Windows Server
2008, SAP ECC 6.0, SAP BW 7.0 etc.
General Summary Give a brief summary of your consulting
strengths and how you can help an organization. This is
important because this is your only chance to elaborate onyour capabilities in the areas of SAP. Keep this section to one
or two brief paragraphs.
Contract Summaries- This section contains a list of all your
current and /or previous contracts, starting with the most
recent. This should include the following:
Client Name (You may need to list generic names if this
information is confidential)
Start / End Date of Contract (month/year format)
Project Name (This is optional)
Scope of your work in paragraph format. Describe your
contribution, especially if your added value is more than
just coding or configuring. Include the various modules of
SAP you worked on.
Details you should not includein your Resume
References: Putting references in a resume is not recommended
because you cannot be sure who will get a copy of it and you dont
want just anyone calling your references. Prepare references in a
separate document and give it only when you are in advanced in the
interview process.
Compensation received in past assignments: Resumes may

accidentally be circulated through offices in which compensation is
confidential. If compensation expectations are requested, submit
them in a separate letter or include them in a formal cover letter
Address of past clients: Although listing names of past clients is all
right, it is important to keep control and not to let prospective
clients get in touch with your past clients without your knowledge.
You want to make sure that prospective clients only contact people
who know they are a reference and are prepared to talk about you.
Names of past supervisors: Just like addresses, it is important to
keep control of who has access to your past supervisors.
Common Resume Mistakes
As a consultant, your resume is in constant use and must be
perfect. T he following are things to check for and to avoid on
your resume:
Misspellings, typographical errors, poor grammar
Irrelevant information such as health or sex
Elaborate fonts, pictures, outlandish paper stock, italics
Too much or not enough information; give enough, but not
irrelevant information
Poor type and print smears, which makes the rsum hard to
read and looks unprofessional
Unprofessional e-mail addresses or Web site references such as
Cover Letter
While the resume is a somewhat generic advertisement for yourself
that you may send unaltered to many different companies, the
cover letter allows you to tailor your application to each specific
job. In the current SAP environment, cover letters are not much
used.
Typically, y ou contact or are contacted by an agent and your
resume is all that passes hands. However, if you are new to the
consulting field or if you find yourself needing to put a cov er letter
together, a format similar to the one below works well. Many of the
