Trailhead

So glad you found it helpful- thank you! As far as getting started- I 100% agree that Trailhead should be your go-to place! I recommend checking out the free resources and guides available at lipstickandtech.com! You'll find a wealth of information and insights on Salesforce certifications, career paths, and the steps you can take to prepare for the Salesforce Certified Administrator exam. I have both free and paid resources to get your career (and cert studying) going! The short answer to your question though is to get as much of the free training through Salesforce as possible and supplement with experimenting in their developer sandboxes and playgrounds. The only paid resource I recommend generally is Focus on Force- they’re a trusted cert training program! Best of luck!

I’ll definitely work on one! Thanks for the suggestion! 👍

This whole YT page is to provide education on the types of Salesforce careers, and yes, promoting my career boutique. Salesforce DOES NOT sponsor my business at all. Hopefully you learned a bit of what it’s like in that job, though! Lots of free content on other platforms though, if you’re looking!

That's amazing to hear about your interest! There is not strict educational background needed to pursue a Salesforce Admin career (or cert), so you're already in good shape!

Your mileage may vary but I often find that certifications need to be accompanied with more experience with the platform, but I've seen anything from a few months to up to a year. I had almost a year of exposure to the platform and was able to point out specific things in my first job that made me a good candidate, even though I wasn't certified. Though, it is rarer than usual.

I’ve used salesforce crm for cox automotive and currently with Hulu but I wanna find a job that’s has more chance of progressing to salesforce administrator 😀

Great question! If I’m following your question, help desk roles can come in a number of tittles: help desk associate, IT Systems Specialist, Application Support Analyst, etc. This may or may not include Salesforce knowledge though. For the most part for Salesforce roles I’d also look at Salesforce Analyst, Salesforce Administrator or Systems Administrator. Good luck! ✨

I’m sure your story inspires all! Personally, I’ve only gotten the admin one and it was such a life changing experience! 💪🏽

Thank you so much for commenting! I am in my last year of grad school and I work so I don’t get to post as often as I’d like to, but I’m so glad the videos are making a difference! I’m not on a schedule as of late but this was my favorite video to make to date. Hope you stick around!

Glad it resonated! I'll also add-- the earlier we tell new Salesforce professionals about the importance of documentation- the better! 😅

So the GOOD news is that there are jobs that are mostly working virtually and in messaging only. But generally, some companies may require more interactions with others. That said, you can find out during the interview process by asking the right questions :) And it’s less than most business analyst jobs 😅. Hope that helps!

@@LipstickandTechhi great video, I am the same way as the person who commented. I don’t like the whole collaborating and and meetings. Do you know the names of positions or company’s that only do messaging in teams ? And your working remotely?

@@Healingmyvoiceonespeakatatime I totally understand the concern as an introvert, but I personally believe any type of help desk/tech specialist or admin job does include some form of socialization. Your mileage may vary of course- always take a look at the job description and ask the recruiter about what the day-to-day looks like. (They're almost always just called Salesforce Admin or Salesforce Associate, etc., so going just on title alone is not accurate.) All of my Salesforce admin jobs have been remote, but I chose to go into the office at a hybrid-basis to get better connected with peers. (Hopefully that's good news there!)

Hi P K! Salesforce Help and Trailhead are a really great resource to learning more about queues, and admittedly without a starting point on your learning, I wouldn’t want to answer this question in a TH-cam comment. That said, I have a great resource page via LipstickandTech.com which has a full list of places that may have the answers you’re looking for. Good luck! 🍀

good questin, i want to know as well

Great question! Getting certified definitely doesn't guarantee the job- with or without a technical background! But those with Salesforce experience or interview well can definitely get the leg up on job offers. There are quite a number of variables- but I've seen everything from 3 months to a year. I think you'd get a lot of value out of my free guide "Breaking Into the Salesforce Ecosystem" on my website: lipstickandtech.com/breaking-into-the-salesforce-ecosystem-a-guide/

So glad this could help! I know many of the gigs are different but I found this experience quite the same when I worked for several companies. Good luck! 💪🏽

where you able to get your first job?

So glad this could be of help! Thanks for the love!

I second this fact! #saved&Liked

@@LipstickandTech thank you so much for the reassurance!

Just want to add since the comment disappeared a few years ago- the answer is no :) But the key is to review the exam guide and make sure you’ve got a better understanding of WHY one answer could be better than another. Memorization won’t help alone with passing the exam. I’m more inclined to focus on the exam and then practice the concepts than I am with just focusing on the Admin trails themselves. It’s been some time, so I hope you met your goals!

@@LipstickandTech recently, I passed my first challenge! I’m excited! It’s my goal to get a Salesforce Admin job this year. However, I’ve heard that admin positions are going to decrease or transition into developer positions. Do you think that’s true?

@@LipstickandTech thank you! That’s good to know

I had to do a b it of a refresh of the page, but just following up, at this current time, I believe these are priced fairly. That said, it's precisely why I made this video-- you are absolutely more than welcome to replicate it! I offer lots of freebies, this template just isn't one of them. I appreciate the support and thanks for watching!

Thank you! This video is a labor of love for sure!

@@LipstickandTech I started Trailhead after watching this video. 4 weeks later and I have my first Salesforce job offer.

Incredible! How time flies!

@@VinVegasVlogs how?
