Skill Up Today!

This might be your first time jumping back into the workforce after several years away and you might be wondering where to get started – how to learn about Salesforce, prepare your resume, and nail job interviews. We recommend starting with the following important steps:

Learn About Salesforce: Hit the ground running with our Free Salesforce Associate Course. This program will give you the high-level overview of what Salesforce is, what Salesforce professionals do, and support you in obtaining your first certification.

Build Your Essential Skills: As important as understanding the Salesforce platform is, these aren’t the only skills that you need to bring to the table – as a stay at home parent, you have so much experience already! Learn more about how to highlight your “essential” skills.

Lock in Your Branding: As a Salesforce Professional, your branding is key! Check out our Free resources on How to Create the Best Salesforce Professional Resume and our Salesforce LinkedIn Domination Guide.

Get Hands-On Experience: There are many ways to get hands-on experience with Salesforce. Hear from our team on what we recommend.

Prepare for Your Interviews: Perhaps you have never done an interview before, that’s okay! We have you covered with our Perfecting Your Interview Quick Guide.

Your Questions Answered

Here are some questions or concerns we commonly hear from people thinking about making this transition

Do I need a degree or previous experience in the tech industry to begin working towards a Salesforce career?
No degree required! Many enter the Salesforce ecosystem successfully making $65k-$85k with the Salesforce Administrator Certification. All of the materials to understand how to configure Salesforce and pass the certification credential can be found for free on Salesforce’s online learning platform – Trailhead!
How can I find time to study for my Salesforce Certification Exam while also managing my household?
Life can definitely be unpredictable with constant interruptions and distractions! We recommend making a game plan and setting aside a set time everyday to study. Even a consistent 1-2 hours a day can really add up over time. Also remember, that everyone’s journey is different, people will take this path at the pace they need. Sometimes life happens and you need to take a break and come back – that is completely okay!
What is the work life balance working as a Salesforce Professional?
Many companies have a, “as long as the work gets done, set your hours” type of policy. You truly can live a life by design, and still help people, where you don’t have to burn yourself out working 60+ hours a week.
