Understanding the SAP Ecosystem
It is essential you can specify what you have previously done within the SAP industry, and to define the role you have previously been in. You must possess a solid understanding of business processes and how they align with SAP functionalities. The SAP professional or business owner interviewing you may ask for a full review of your SAP career, so it is important to have that ready.
Educating yourself on key market trends, and the latest SAP advances will be beneficial so that you can show you are well-knowledged about the SAP ecosystem as a whole.

Technical Expertise
You may be asked to describe a situation where you had to use your technical expertise to solve a problem within a SAP role. This demonstrates your problem-solving skills, ability to work under pressure, and in-depth understanding of SAP system functionalities, according to BarRaiser.
Research the Company
Start by exploring the company’s history, culture, and recent developments. Look for their mission statement and values, as aligning your responses with these can demonstrate your fit within the organisation.
Being prepared to answer questions about the company, and why you feel you would fit in, will help you feel confident in the interview. As stated by IgniteSAP, a business or company wants to see your motivation why you want to work there and your career plans moving forward.
