I have a friend that just got her admin cert and looking to make a career move. She doesn’t have experience in consulting or hands on with Salesforce but is eager to learn and start a new path. She wants something she can grow with. Any recommendations on places to have her look for a job?

Business analyst somewhere. I’ve had underqualified consultants come in and it’s frustrating dealing with that.

Pretty sure by under qualified consultants, you mean they have 1-2 yoe, lol

Another few items to consider..
I.e. can she be considered join Special groups. In Salesforce?....
i.e. if she is a military veteran, she can get plugged into Salesforce Military, or Salesforce Pathfinder.
. If she also works as a server, waitress..
Salesforce Climbhire.

If she doesn't fit above,
She could get plugged into a Salesforce user group that is in her city or community...
A lot of Salesforce jobs are like other jobs. Networking is key. 🥳...
Short of that, there is TalentStacker ..
I am not a paid to advertise for them, just have dealt with a few graduates of that program, and the graduates were pretty knowledgeable..

I haven’t seen a lot out there for this. Even jobs that say entry level are asking for 2-3 yrs experience

Does she have any useful experience?

like

She should go back to school for a business admin/IT degree and enter that way.

I don’t see a realistic way for her to get into salesforce that doesn’t involve incredible good luck.

like

She should explore and learn health cloud I think, and do some projects, maybe in NGO or somewhere she can have hands on experience

Exactly my thought, she can start with small projects which she can definitely later on leverage to show case her work, and get experience.

She needs three certs minimum
