Do you have any experience in SAP?
Many energy companies will use robust software, including SAP. Because there are endless choices in SAP-based programs, you will likely not have the exact experience in the SAP module that Suncor is looking for. Do not fret! All you need to do is convince the interviewer that you have a general understanding of how their technology works, that you are tech savvy, and a fast learner. Also, be sure to mention your experience with other ERP systems such as Oracle, or custom software that manages similar business functions.
While you may not need to use Suncor's enterprise resource planning tools (SAP), you may need to be knowledgeable about other major solutions they utilize such as Workday (HR functions) and Power BI (data analytics and business intelligence). Check the job description for references to specific systems and follow the model mentioned above to customize your response.
"I have approximately two years' experience in Fieldglass which is an internal SAP used at Company ABC. From your job posting, I see that you use X, Y, and Z at Suncor. I am familiar with how these programs work. Technology is very interesting to me and I am a quick study."
"I have not been lucky enough to have exposure to SAP as of yet; however, I have watched a few tutorials on the program and am confident in my ability to pick it up very quickly."
"I have a lot of experience with Workday. I have used several of the modules intensively and I have exposure to the rest of them. I am highly confident in my skills in this area and should be able to come up to speed on Suncor's specific implementation quickly if hired."
