Question Diploma translation?

Hi,
I have a degree form my home country in Engineering. Do the employers want actually to see the diploma? Do I have to translate it and make it legal? Did you ever go to an interview with your diploma in a folder?

I would suggest translating your diploma. Nobody ever wanted to actually see mine but if somebody inquires about it you should be able to show it. And you may need it if you want to study here. The University might want to check if you have already taken some of the courses, how many credits you have, etc.

With most of my jobs HR required a diploma or transcript (photocopies okay for the most part). This was always after the job offer, when I visit HR to fill out the paperwork, never on an interview. I'm guessing if they can't read it that will be an issue. I think you should have both a copy of your diploma and transcript. If they are not familar with the issuing institution, at least they can see what type of courses you took.

You mean you're a real engineer right, not IT? That's a professional designation. To work as an engineer you need a P.Eng. degree. So you will have to find out if your degree is recognized.

SAP is very well paid and I know there is a lack of qualified people around. What do you specialize in?
