I’m stuck in the middle, folks.
I have 10 years of IT experience (a few as a PM) and am aiming to move into the wonderful world of consulting… eventually.
There’s just one thing I can’t seem to wrap my head around. How does a guy break into the world of enterprise software, business intelligence SW, ERP, CRM etc… ??
– Do you go out and get training (will someone actually hire you with just a piece of paper proving you know how to plan, develop and/or deploy a solution)?
– Do you get hired at a large company to “sweep floors” just to get your foot in the door, and push towards working with this software at a later date? Or…
– Do you “stretch the truth”, and just add some fancy acronyms on your resume so it’ll come up in a headhunter’s search tool?? Hey… unethical as it may be (and I’m not too interested in going this route), I’m sure many folks embellish their CV’s with buzzwords to attract attention.
If anyone has any more practical and effective ideas, please feel free to share… I’m all ears!
