Does anyone just use focus on force to study for certification exams?

Yep great resource

Udemy practice exams…v similar to the actual exam

For the base exams I used focus on force and trailhead so that I can actually do the configuration/setup/code that’s being tested but for the more conceptual based exams focus on force by itself definitely works

For the admin cert I started solely with trailhead for ~2-3 weeks a few hours each day, but only focused on the top 3-4 sections most highly represented on the exam, which ended up being 40-50% of total exam. Then, in the final two weeks I shifted solely to FOF study guide, and final 5 days went fully into practice exams. I would reference back to guide and Trailhead in areas of the practice exams that I was consistently getting wrong. I found this hybrid approach worked well for me (73% overall score for admin on first attempt).

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree.

I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

For those who have obtained the CFF certification:

For background, I’m 6 months into working at this firm and have touched a variety of cases.

I just listened to an interview of a creative director recount their path towards copywriting at a famous ad agency. It could not have been a more textbook case of failing upwards as a white man.

It would seem the only thing you need to make it as an advertising creative is to have lots of not particularly original ideas. Practically every other skill is unnecessary. If you’re a white man.

That this level of mediocrity passes for talent explains why so many agency briefs are so lame.
