Hi
I notice that this might be a “late reply” but for the benefit of those who read later, it is nearly impossible to get any major oracle apps functional role as a fresher. This is justified because the in-depth understanding of business processes required is not possible to gain when you have just started working.
However this does not mean, you can’t get one. In many companies, specially in India and the sub-continent many of the software majors hire freshers for Ora Apps. In most of these places you will either be initially given a technical role or maybe a “down-the-ladder” functional job. The only way up is by learning, learning and learning. I was initially in a support project where I found enough time to try my hand at a test instance and by looking at real scenarios that were happening and reading oracle tutor docs and manuals, I was able to master more than what guys of my experience at that time knew. In my next project, I got noticed and slowly I was handling more and more responsibility.
So learning and practice I am afraid is the only way. Do more than just what your superior tells u, try and get to the bottom of how things work and you will always be rewarded.
Also for freshers who don’t have a TEST instance, you can try Solution Beacon’s online 11i and R12 instances.

However you will require your Oracle CSI number, which you can find out from your senior or simply if you have metalink access, you can login and in your account details, you will see your company’s CSI number. you can always ask your senior for metalink access.
Hope it helps.
