NetSuite Professionals

i guess right now is not so much about skill set. I'm also studying up on the essentials course on my own

Our admin is advising me to first get an entry role in a consulting firm

I think with the finance background you're probably set

because you can talk to finance people, take those requirements and put it into at least the scope and framework of the solution

There's enough firms out there that have pretty cheap coders that can deliver on anything that requires complex lifting

And finding someone at a consulting firm that can speak to an accounting team _and_ a team of programmers is rare

(My college program was dual Comp Sci / Economics, so I hear this all the time when I scout around for jobs)

I think one of the consulting places that I interviewed was far more interested in my people skills than my actual coding chops

They were excited about the prospect of having someone who could get to the nitty-gritty with a revenue or A/P person and then translate that to the engineers

People skills, finance/accounting/business background, systems and processes

That's more or less all you need, I think anything else is incidental

if you can list at least a small amount of previous netsuite "experience", that will help you

That's about a year more experience than most people have

and I honestly have nearly no practical day-to-day user experience with NS

didn't do much except for saved searches, forms, and csv updates

Anytime we onboard someone and they ask me to train them about NetSuite I'll go "Uh, well, it's a big ol' ERP"

"...you should talk to your boss about how to use it day to day"

ha, i did training last night for our new warehouse manager

I'm terrible at resume writing. My biggest weakness
