Not that hard but will require some studying and getting familiar with the platform. I would say start off with the basics. Join the trailhead platform and learn the basics. Then use trailhead and focusonforce to study for the Sytem Admin and platform App builder certifications. Then update your resume and tailor it to the specific job you are applying for. You can reach out to the recruiters on LinkedIn or request a referral from people in your network. Good luck!

Just found out I get paid less than a male peer in my team, we started the job on the same day, same qualifications, same age, same title. I asked for a pay rise last year and we both got one, he wasn’t happy and asked for more and only he got one. I’m disappointed, angry and feel slighted

Also, how much do you give away? If they're minis, then several, and 1 each if full sized?
Do you give them just to the kids or to anyone who's dressed up, including the accompanying adult?
Why is distributing candy so stressful 🥲
