Lesson Summary

Before preparing your CV, it is important to do some preparation. One important step is to go online and search for similar job postings. This will give you an idea of the job requirements and the skills that are in demand. Popular job search websites like Naukri, Indeed, and LinkedIn can be useful for this research. During your research, pay attention to buzzwords that are frequently mentioned in the job requirements. These buzzwords can include specific skills or areas of expertise that employers are looking for. For example, if you are interested in becoming a SAP FICO consultant, buzzwords like finance, FICO, controlling, account payables, account receivables, sourcing, procurement, master data, configuration, and GST (if in India) may be relevant. Once you have identified the buzzwords, take some time for self-analysis. Reflect on your own skills and experiences to see if there are any matches or overlaps with the buzzwords. You may have previous experience or skills that align with the desired qualifications, even if they were not explicitly mentioned in your previous job titles or responsibilities. For example, if you have experience in operations and have worked on planning strategies, make-to-order, and make-to-stock processes, these can be relevant keywords for a SAP job, even if they were not emphasized in your previous role. Highlighting these experiences in your CV can increase the chances of getting an interview call. When mentioning your operation experience in relation to the SAP keywords and buzzwords, try to make connections and bridge the two areas. Think about how your previous work in operations or sales can be related to the skills and qualifications desired in a SAP role. In summary, before preparing your CV, it is important to research similar job postings to understand the requirements and identify relevant buzzwords. Conduct a self-analysis to determine how your skills and experiences align with the buzzwords. Then, highlight these connections in your CV to increase your chances of getting an interview call.
