Sorry, I don't. Did you get certified? There are a few good ways to break into IT (it may not be relevant with sap, but here goes):

1. Use your other skils to get into a company that is using the technicology that you want to break into. For example, I wanted to be a DBA years ago when I was a developer. A small company wanted a developer and I told them I would do it if I could be their DBA as well. If I wanted to get into SAP right now, I would leverage my DB2 expertise to get into a company using SAP and I would make that a condition of employment.
2. Volunteer. I know of several people who got jobs by offering to do work for free at first. Like a drug addict, they always come back for more if it is good. LOL
3. Find a company that sends in a team of people. That way, the client has hired the company, not you individually. These may be hard to find -- they are more common with gov't contracts.
4. Get certified (not as prevelant anymore). When IT was really hot in the late 90's, getting certified was a good path. Now everyone is certified, so it may not be as easy.

Just some thoughts.
