Its all business language mumbo jumbo.....WTF do they "ACTUALLY" do?!?

[DrJRL]

Not massively helpful, there is about thirty seconds out of eight and a half minutes that is actually what she does. The interviewer should have worked harder to extract more information and to stop her waffling. If she worked for me I'd sack her for not knowing what it is she does ;)

Give specifics.

@mrshabkhan Jai ho! Well said

[bjokkor]

@FuzzyChicken29 hehe true!

there's like 4 main types of sap consultants

a) business/sales consultant (trying to win projects at customers .. not knowing a lot about sap lol)

b) functional consultant ( translate customer demands to developers and Customize SAp(adjusting some parameters) )

c) developer consultant. (coding abap/java/.net/...)

d) system admin consultant. (keeping the servers/databases up etc.. )

This podcast is an example of a&b people.. blalbalblalba

total mumbojumbo! Have a listen again and swap out SAP Consultant with cashier at McDonald's: take initiative, proactive, resolve customer issues, manage your time, learning opportunities, exposed to a dynamic demanding work environment, ability to adapt to a changing environment, solve problems, be flexible. What else is new lady?  Either SAP Consultants just do mumbojumbo all day or "...makes IBM a great place to work for..." - nice english Chan

@PeterClayton, @JobsInPods, this podcast súcks so bad. It not only speaks novels about your pseudo-intelligence, but also proves once again that consulting jobs are not real work. That grad school chick you interviewed is like a zombie or something, rattling off wonderful slogans like there's no tomorrow. C'mon, you know she hasn't worked a day in her life. The stuff she described is not about lBM, it's about anycompany: nice people, supportive,bla-bla-bla. Brainwashed corporate À'mé'ríc'á!

I think IBM must base bonuses on the number of times you talk about how brilliant everyone at IBM is. Odd, since I've never been impressed by any of the IBM employees I've met.

the person interviewed makes SAP sound like  some sort of college sorority that you join to. Yes you travel, meet new people from different cultures.....but any job that requires to implement a new system offers that. Any plans to interview a real SAP specialist that can describe her/his job?
