“I challenge any veteran looking to be a part of something amazing to submit your resume to the NS2 Serves program.”
After years of service in the U.S. Army, I needed a change. I joined the NS2 Serves Training Program because I felt it would give me a great head start in a new direction – and I quickly found this to be true.
During the eleven-week program, I learned a vast amount about the business world in general and gained a solid foundation in the SAP IT realm. This knowledge helped me secure the job of my dreams – though I didn’t know that such a thing existed before – working with HCL, a global company that boasts 90,000+ employees. HCL is an SAP Industrial Solutions leader in the utilities market.
My current role at HCL is within the Device Management Team. In this capacity, my certification in SAP Materials Management is very relevant. An average day for me includes writing developmental specifications for ABAP’ers so that they can create customizations for SAP.
Beyond this, I also test these customizations when they are complete. For me, the testing is one of the best parts, especially when I get to test my own development specifications. I challenge any veteran looking to be a part of something amazing to submit your resume to the NS2 Serves program. It will change your life and set you on career path that has amazing potential, as it has for me.
