create a fake company of your choosing. envision all the different employee roles and what you need to do to enable their job and make it easy to do their job (sales & service), write the stories, do the work (dev too), and integrate some data to make it real (integration is where you will find complexity and $$$). extra credit: envision how your customers will interact and build out community cloud.

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.
