“This guy has an amazing background….he has 20 SF certifications.” Sorry but most people memorize the test banks to pass the tests so having a certification does not hold much weight.

Yes, but it takes quite a lot of dedication to earn 20 certifications. It’s less likely that you’d find someone that BS’ed their way through that many certs without having valuable SF skills. But of course you need to vet the person individually.

It happens! But that doesn’t mean it’s the norm

Not all carts are created equal. If someone has application and system architect with a few extras I’d be impressed. If they just keep stacking industry clouds and random other ones like the BA cert and they have no experience then yeah they’re probably not going to be very good

But why people are hired based off their number of certifications earned in the first place?

Salesforce also qualifies partners into tiers partially based on number of certified resources, and number of total certs.

I have seen many folks who has 12-20 cents but does not really have real skill set. I guess we can’t judge by number of certifications one may have

Had an FET transfer and just got the news that the pregnancy test is negative. Feeling very defeated about it. All my labs are good (AMH 3.1) and the embryos were PGA tested. Have only two left now, and this was the best quality one. The irony is I did feel pregnant couple days after transfer but then I stopped feeling pregnant. I read that some women don’t really “feel” pregnant until 6-7 weeks… but i did “feel” then stopped. It just sucks. If you have any advice for coping, I’d appreciate it.

Hi all,
I wanted to know if anyone was having issues with their pharma branded Instagram accounts? My brand’s account was fine yesterday and now when you search it it’s not on IG. It’s a business account so it’s fully public. I reached out to a few brand managers and it’s hit or miss on if they’re brand is found. Cleared caches, incognito browser, and all. I’m not sure if IG is down or if something changed with IG and pharma accounts.
