A Day in the life of a Salesforce Administrator (Work from Home)

[@prareedawn]

Thanks for the video. I’ve worked in manufacturing most of my adult life. Skilled trades. And this year I’m turning 50 and I’m attempting to learn Salesforce and so I have no idea what my life would look like with such a drastic job change so thank you for this glimpse!

[@garciajovani]

It’s a tremendous change, the prior experience I had was solely in manufacturing (medical device). Personally, it was worth every damn second spent in front of the screen which all the doubts you can imagine but I kept pushing through

[@BadWeatherfreak]

I am in the same boat. Currently in the medical field. Trying to learn Salesforce but feeling a bit lost doing the trailhead. Hard to stay motivated.

[@garciajovani]

@@BadWeatherfreak I know for a fact I was there many times lost and with many doubts but there’s a huge community on LinkedIn, facebook group, and resources for you to take advantage like Salesforce Ben and focus on force when you’re ready to study in full depth for the admin exam

[@attackofthemarshall]

How has your journey been?! I’m in warehousing and also currently going through salesforce.

[@garciajovani]

I’m loving the journey best decision ever! Wherever you are working it’s a steppingstone to where you wanna be 🤘🏽

[@LipstickandTech]

This video is giving aesthetics! Great job! ✨✨

[@garciajovani]

Thanks for stopping by Kim! 🙏🏽

Love this real day in the life video

[@garciajovani]

something I've been wanting to upload for a while now, thanks for watching!

[@parae_]

“Catch up on work”, “attend meeting”, “take my lunch”, “finish project”, “attend meeting”, “finish work”. I know what a Salesforce admin does on their daily now… thanks i guess…

[@garciajovani]

A vídeo does not do justice to what really occurs on a daily basis. Think of this of a snippet as a SF admin, with time you’ll get experience work across cross functional teams, and who knows perhaps lead projects, the list goes on. Take this as a grain of salt. My two cents.

[@leggoon619]

What are your opinions on the job market for Salesforce admins? There has been decreasing number of open positions, entry level to be more specific and a lot of people do not recommend the Salesforce admin career. Are you aware of this? What are your thoughts?

[@garciajovani]

Unfortunately, it is competitive and the market keeps heading that way. There's job postings within an hour they have more than 100 applicants that is bonkers. There's other routes than being an admin like sales, analyst, junior, training folks you name it...

[@z400racer37]

Nice video man -- if you keep up with YT you'll get a great following for sure!

[@garciajovani]

don't know if I can keep these Saleforce videos coming haha

[@connorhennessy9354]

How long did it take you (roughly) to obtain your first salesforce job after gaining your certification? I'm planning on taking my exam soon, and have around 7 years end user experience but have also created numerous custom reports and been apart of our IT related support for my companies org.

[@shivakrishnareddy4909]

From your experience as a admin what you works most on (like building flows, objects etc)and do you also touch the dev(apex..)

[@garciajovani]

the 2 years of being an admin, I've built flows, system configurations, page layouts, data cleanup the list goes on

[@krissym7270]

Great Video, can you make a video on what your daily tasks look like?

[@garciajovani]

Duties vary from org to org but you got it!

[@deborshikashyap6745]

Can I get a job in Salesforce by learning from Salesforce trailhead

[@garciajovani]

that's how majority of us started

[@patiencei9845]

Hi, I got my certification since last year but didn't do anything with it. Done most of the training on trailhead and now I just created an account. But I realized I don't even know what to start with! Any help on how to navigate? Or do I need another training?

[@garciajovani]

There’s a huge community on LinkedIn connect with others! Build apps for yourself to present during interviews

[@daviesdavies9112]

Hi patience, what are the materials you use for study before taking the exam

[@Daveguz97]

Great video!

[@garciajovani]

Much appreciated David! 🤘🏽

[@Mikeelianne]

Congratulations on getting the job! In regards to your filming style, what camera and editing app do you use? I’m also a SF admin trying to document my career on KZbin but I love your aesthetic

[@garciajovani]

It wasn’t easy but we made it happen! I’m using a canon EOS R and I switch off from premiere pro and Final Cut Pro x depends on the type of video. Don’t wait too long just press the record button 🤘🏽

[@sunshine_k12]

Does salesforce developers get the opportunity to work from home permanently or wfo is compulsory?? Plz plz reply

[@garciajovani]

it all varies from company to company but majority of these SF roles are remote or hybrid

[@troubz714]

Looking into salesforce without any IT background, any pointers or recommendations? Appreciate your time

[@garciajovani]

same here, I don't have a data background and managed to land my first SF role. Have you started Trailhead?

[@amthebear]

​ I just subscribed. I'm currently on trailhead looking to obtain my admin cert. Military vet as well - Semper Fi I have a few questions : Would you happen to have a set schedule to follow? Are you hourly or salary? Can this position (with ur org) be mobile, or do you have to work from home (ethernet required)? I've never been in the tech world and want to get out of customer service as well.

[@garciajovani]

Thanks for stopping by Alejandro! Congrats on getting started that’s the first step then obtain admin cert. So many variables come in play, if the company your working for allows hybrid or fully remote then yes majority of the time you’ll be working from home. Same here this is my first in the tech field and let me tell you down the road you’ll look back and be proud of how far you’ve gone.

[@rickwilson88]

How long does it typically take to get hired after getting Cert?

[@garciajovani]

that all varies person to person, everyone brings a set of skills and if the company you apply for sees something in you then you have a chance but you really have to stand from the crowd

[@kentucky1fan83]

Would like to see the flash card app

[@garciajovani]

Sure I’ll take a note of this comment!

[@niceday4787]

Good vid

[@OMGKenny314]

Definitely would love to see how you use Anki. I’ve been using the app for a year or so to remember information from books I read. But not quite sure how to approach using it for Salesforce.

[@garciajovani]

Interesting! I’ll be uploading a video soon on how I used Anki for the the Salesforce admin exam or any future exams

[@Workrelatedstufff]

From a daily perspective can u name like 5 things to hard study on such as like automations or flows etc???

[@Workrelatedstufff]

Of what technical skills in salesforce we will be using?

[@garciajovani]

preparing a video, stay tuned!

[@shajjj455]

How many hours is a typical work day

[@garciajovani]

[@just4g777]

[@garciajovani]

Anki they have a free and a paid version

[@Sulthanthanish]

There’s an abundance of resources that can help with that. Trailhead is the main resource.
