    #SFTOTHEEND I'm in that place of applying and applying and getting no where. Finally published my portfolio... continuously adding content/projects, etc. Thanks so much for the motivation, and congratulations on landing your first SF role!

    Thanks for sharing your story and congrats on your first SF job! I'm curious if you went through the Talent Stacker program and if so, did you find it was worth the price? Just starting my research into the SF world and your videos have been super helpful!

    Thank you so much for the video. I’m sure you have an idea how valuable this is that you’re sharing here. I am taking my admin certification programs and I’m starting my super badges and I’m having a very hard time and I’m confused a lot of times. And I do wonder how much do I need to learn to get a job as an admin which is something that I’m really looking forward to. I am staying positive. I’m putting in my due diligence every day at least couple hours at home and at work and I try to, so much as I can even though it easily becomes confusing so you are right I need to be patient and just go with the flow and just do my best and learn as much as I can. I was wondering if you could give me some pointers on how to start my own project, just like you so I can stand out among the rest. Thank you so much. God bless.

      @Acheron.426 Рік тому

      Very early steps. Been working on Trailhead for about a month. It's been good, but there will be a lot of little things to remember. Hardest thing to keep straight so far is security - profiles, permission sets, sharing, etc. Seems like a million things to remember.

    Hello Jovani, thanks for sharing your experience. At your opinion , is it real to find remote job as a junior SF admin ?

      From someone with 0 tech experience, yes it is possible. It is not going to be easy, you’ll have to stand from the rest of the candidates and demonstrate you’re wealth of SF knowledge

    May I ask, how much was the pay ? I see a lot of things online and just want to get a real insight on what to expect.

    • @garciajovani
      @garciajovani  Рік тому +1

      Well the pay varies from company to company. If you don’t mind making 65-80k starting as an admin then this might be a pay increase. Of course, there’s others that make more but from what I’ve seen around that range

    If folks in the Salesforce ecosystem want us to succeed, why do they give such lousy and useless advice? I'm an MBA graduate and veteran of the USAF. I'm also a Salesforce Certified Administrator. It's shockingly incredibly difficult to establish a career within the Salesforce ecosystem. The only results I'm getting from employers who claim to hire Salesforce Administrators is ignored and rejected, which is very strange and discouraging. Can anyone please recommend actions I can take immediately right now to increase the likelihood of a career in the Salesforce ecosystem? I'd like to take actions that make a beneficial difference and I don't want to keep spinning my wheels and getting nowhere.

      Do you have a portfolio that showcases your projects? Have you network with anyone in the community who can tell you what they did to get to the position they are in? Just trying to figure out what you have done to get into the door besides applying for jobs.

    • @garciajovani
      @garciajovani  7 місяців тому

      Everyone has their own advices for others in the salesforce ecosystem. I've taken everything and utilized that information and make it my own. It is going to difficult especially when you have job postings with hundreds of applicants in a few hours. From what I've seen and experience it is an overnight thing, you'll have to apply to numerous postings and also remember don't apply with the same application. Tailor your resume and CV if you have one and make it relatable to what you are applying. Learn and try new things out what are you going to lose...
