[@kevinsee3705]

Mate this is a really valuable video so on behalf of everyone else that's viewed and not said anything, thanks for creating this! It's not just useful for an SF interview but the tips and pointers here are relevant for pretty much any job interview out there! You've inspired me to take a further step in building a personal project!

[@SalesforceForEveryone]

Thank you so much! I feel the same way :)

[@masoodjamily]

Thank you so much for your amazing videos. I really do appreciate all the knowledge that you’re sharing with everyone here. I am completely new to salesforce and I am looking to change career. I am 58 years old and I was wondering if there’s a good point for me to start a new career in salesforce and get my first certification.

[@SalesforceForEveryone]

Hey thanks for the comment! Not knowing too much about you I'd say start with the free resources at TalentStacker.com/now and the Salesforce For Everyone podcast especially episodes 1-8. Any questions just ask but that will lay the groundwork and give you an idea of this is something you want to go forward with.

[@sid5417]

Thanks for all the valuable insight and constructive advice. Hands-on experience and interview etiquette are some of the most crucial aspects of starting a salesforce career and you are doing a great service. please do keep it up! we appreciate it

[@SalesforceForEveryone]

Thank you so much for your kindness! Interviews have to be prepared for or you will not make it through, take it seriously! It's your career!

[@shawnparpart4476]

So many great tips. I will be referring back to this video when I start to get interviews.

[@SalesforceForEveryone]

Awesome thanks for watching!

[@guitardude0909]

Brad Thanks!! Ive been applying a bunch but no interviews from the applications. This is key for me. Thanks for the video!

[@SalesforceForEveryone]

Great! Yes it's important to read between the lines and be critical of yourself, is there something more you could do?! They interviewed you, now how can we be ready to close the deal!

[@buxtehude123]

Question. I'm in my 50s. A beginner with 2 cers. Will I be hit by age discrimination? Should I try to present younger- color hair, use a bit of face cream, lose a few pounds, avoid answers that reveal my age etc?

[@SalesforceForEveryone]

That's a personal choice, but I've faced age discrimination from being "too young" and I've definitely grown my beard out and avoided putting graduation dates on resumes etc... Personal advice not professional yeah I would but this is all virtual for the most part so really lighting and a slight filter applied will likely be all you need. Discrimination is real unfortunately, not overwhelming but can create an obstacle.

[@ThebookofAlana]

Very helpful! I am recently salesforce admin certified

[@SalesforceForEveryone]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nintenbetas]

Excellent Video. Are the hands on experience limit only to in site? Because Living in Another Country and not having chances for Fully Remote Jobs is an Obstacle for Latin Americans.

[@SalesforceForEveryone]

Volunteer projects are almost always fully remote. All of the volunteer sites have a virtual filter selection so you never have to worry!

[@MalluStyleMultiMedia]

Let me know if anyone wants to hire me 😁 I’m a Respiratory Therapist with 13 years of experience. I did some trailhead modules couple of years ago .. Ranger level.. somehow 🤷‍♂️ if anyone wants to train me, I’m ready. Excellent video 👍 good info .. I’ll check out the career development program

[@SalesforceForEveryone]

They absolutely will, but first you'll need to get certified, make sure your LinkedIn is on point. Maybe get some volunteer experience and do some interview prep and show them why they should want you on their team!

[@MalluStyleMultiMedia]

@@SalesforceForEveryone ok cool .. thanks

[@AdamRonhovde]

Great advice as usual Bradley. I'm currently working towards my cert and have been wondering this a lot. You're the second person I've seen suggest building a personal project, and the extra step of making it a group project is excellent! Question about the Slack, is it only for certified professionals or can anyone join it? Thanks for the great content

[@SalesforceForEveryone]

I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Personal projects are awesome but you have to take them very seriously. It's your experience! The Slack community is for everyone.

[@basemaboujudom6742]

Would finding entry level jobs be a good start ?

[@SalesforceForEveryone]

The entry level jobs want you to have experience too, I know it's crazy!

[@basemaboujudom6742]

@@SalesforceForEveryone does volunteer count or usually daily activities ?

[@SalesforceForEveryone]

@@basemaboujudom6742 volunteering absolutely counts. It's about showcasing it properly on LinkedIn and resume building.

Salesforce should change the game and allow a freelance marketplace. Learned Salesforce 2 years ago and ran an org for a nonprofit and I’m sure I’m still useful. Semantics has me unemployed. I did this job under a information tech job description idk though.

[@SalesforceForEveryone]

Yes Salesforce doesn't necessarily facilitate a freelance marketplace but there is certainly a healthy freelance marketplace in the Salesforce ecosystem. I actually did freelancing for 6 years and have a lot of friends and co-workers who freelance on the side of their day job and as a main gig. For more information about freelancing be sure to checkout the free Salesforce Freelance Guide! bit.ly/3vrA43V

Saying I don’t know is okay 🤯

[@SalesforceForEveryone]

You made it! I'm honored 😊

[@WhyFeartheTruthNow]

What if you build your business up with this CRM, then they decide they don't like your politics? Can they simply put you out of business via deplatforming? Yes. Salesforce does this! Feeling warm and fuzzy about trusting these guys?

[@SalesforceForEveryone]

I've never heard of that, Title VII does not allow any business to discriminate against customers based on protected classes. However I would say that any business you use can update their policies and functionalities in a way that may not be beneficial to you as a customer so being too reliant on one company for your business can have its downsides. However I don't necessarily recommend Salesforce has a product to businesses, I recommend Salesforce as a career path for individuals. Being that I've always been a Salesforce professional and not necessarily a Salesforce customer I would not feel comfortable recommending Salesforce as a platform for customers given that I do not have much experience with their competitors so I would have an extremely bias opinion.
