Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been offering free career consultations to people who are looking to launch or develop their Salesforce career.

As part of these chats, I’ve been discussing the 5 ways to land your Salesforce Job, and here are my top 5 recommendations below. These tips go beyond just looking at job ad boards and applying for jobs cold. If you want to get your CV noticed and at the front of the queue you have to go the extra mile. ?

I have over 20+ years of experience helping people into employment, and I’ve seen what steps lead to success.

Alongside delivering Authorised Salesforce Training with Certified Instructors, you also get work experience, references, mentoring, career coaching, and recruitment support for students on our Salesforce Admin Course. We want to set people up for success.

?

1.????? Build your Network – Connect and introduce yourself to other people working in the Salesforce Community. Give yourself a target e.g. ?50 new people a week and focus on certain industries or job roles that are you interested in working within. Ask to have a virtual coffee or ask if they have any job openings. Don’t be shy. ?At Supermums, we recommend that our students connect with all of our Alumni who now work in a variety of roles globally. ?

?

2.????? LinkedIn Profile – Maximise your LinkedIn Profile to show you are open to work.? Shows your transferrable skills, industry experience, salesforce training, relevant work experience, certifications, credentials, and references. At Supermums, you can benefit from 3 x references from the trainer, mentor, and work experience partner. Share your achievements and tag your respective partners and supporters so they can like and comment to maximize exposure for you. Our Supermums Alumni have had multiple approaches, interviews, and job offers just through building their presence on LinkedIn.

3.????? Direct Approach – Get involved in attending Salesforce events virtually or in person and follow companies and people who share your values and appeal to you. Directly approach the speakers, attendees, or influencers via social media and present your CV /Resume and a tailored cover letter to them to introduce yourself. ?

?

4.????? Focus on your Niche – Identify end customers,? consultancies, or ISV’s that align with your industry background and sell yourself in based on your industry experience with Salesforce skills to boot. Employers like people who can speak the lingo, and understand the culture, KPI’s and processes of the target industry.
