How to find a Salesforce Admin job with No Experience

Just showing the process I used to find what I would consider an entry level position that doesn't require experience or certification in the Salesforce industry.

[@salesforcenow]

Being able to understand and interpret job postings and pinpoint your target job is a skill in and of itself. Great walkthrough!

[@wisdom-for-life]

Thank you very kindly! I've been studying for my SF admin cert for several months now, so I'll put your advice to good use. Thanks!

[@isaachowell716]

As some one in the job market for salesforce roles, I really appreciate you making this video! Great stuff

[@NextLevelAdmin]

Happy to help Isaac. Good luck on the job search.

[@castleblackrottweilers9713]

Great video. I recently got my certificate but having hard time landing my first job as admin. Everyone wants minimum 2yrs experience.

[@megan6754]

Currently looking for Salesforce admin entry job and it was slightly difficult but this video helped a lot! Thanks!

[@NextLevelAdmin]

Good luck with the job hunt! I'm working on a way to help connect people like yourself with entry level positions. Here's the site we are happing people submit their contact to. dewwow.force.com/s/applicants. Then as I learn about opportunities I have people to reach out to. I've have a position in Waukesha, Wisconsin right now for an entry level admin for example.

[@MrEdmccormick]

Hi, First, I have to say I really enjoy watching your videos and as a matter of fact, your videos have played a large role in deciding to become an admin. I'm giving serious consideration to getting admin certified but there are few, if any, jobs in my province (New Brunswick, Canada, not willing to relocate). Would you say to go for it, that the jobs will come or advice against it? Thanks, Ed

[@telly_0]

Thanks for doing this!

[@NextLevelAdmin]

No problem. Thanks for watching!

[@sonalrane7112]

Hello! Thank you for the video. I am a professional with 6 yrs of investment banking operations experience and 4 years of business analyst experience. Right now I am looking to switch as a Salesforce professional. I went through the initial steps of Trialblazer, also to realise that I would prefer the "Service Careers" as my career path. Now I am wondering how do I align myself to the learning and certifications since I see it's broadly classified as Developer, Admin, Sales. Could you please help. I am from India.

[@ngwafurosemary5700]

Great video! Please could you search for texas?

[@sramack718]

So basically you just took us down a rabbit hole to prove that Salesforce Administration is a competitive market. Andddddd 4 out of 5 jobs require at least 3 years exp or developer cert🤷🏾‍♂️

Sir how can I get experience ..as I have no experience in salesforceadmin and I am studying salesforce admin for certification please give me idea how I get job

[@kelvinhall1394]

Thank you so much for this video. I am currently working on getting certified. Can you help me look for positions in my city, San Francisco, CA? Thank you again!

Hello sir, please I'm new to salesforce. Ive been studying and i even made a resume please could you help me check if my resume is good?

[@nanduys5627]

Salesforce in USA have lot of oppurtunities, but in Canada we have very less entry level positions :(

[@NextLevelAdmin]

I've never been to Canada but would really like to make it there this year. I have met a few partners that are located in Canada so I know they exists. cloudstackservices.com is one. Canada's a pretty big place though.

[@nanduys5627]

Thank You, i will check their site. Lol.... Yup its huge :)

[@saabauphar958]

Sir , i am fresher ,i dont have any experience of salesforce also am gonna learn from trailhead, so my question is , is it necessary to start with an institute(am broke) can i train myself with trailhead and then try to find jobs outhere, i really need your help

[@LeighAnnMiller]

I’m planning on watching more of your videos as my husband is trying to get his first salesforce job. He’s been working on this for over a year now with no luck, and he has his admin certification and his plat app certification. He’s currently learning python and working on CPQ as well but he has had no luck even getting an interview. It’s very discouraging especially when he has his ranger badge already but nothing has come out of it.

[@djb6496]

Any update on your husband landing a job?

[@LeighAnnMiller]

@@djb6496 yeah it never happened for him. Apparently becoming a stock broker is easier. That’s what he is now… ironically at his company they use salesforce and he could transfer into one of those departments but those positions pay less so I doubt he’ll ever end up using the certifications he got 🙃

[@rachelmoore5255]

Hi, just watched your video. I graduate from Chapel Hill in two weeks as a full stack web developer and I want to get into Salesforce. I'm in Greensboro, NC. Can you help me?

Hello. Is it possible for someone who has a Salesforce developer certificate but has no experience and lives outside the United States to find a remote job there?

[@brandonthompson4186]

I don't have a college degree, and have really been looking for something rewarding. However I'm 43, is it too late to get started, and how much will no degree hurt me in the job market?

[@NextLevelAdmin]

My experience is that most places don't care if you have a degree. Some do, but most don't. Never too late to get into it. With the shut downs though... it's going to more difficult. There's a job like this you can get once you've been doing salesforce for a year (no cert or degree required) www.indeed.com/jobs?q=salesforce&l=canada&advn=5257991122293750&vjk=24e5db5646cc5929 or there is this one where you just need 1 year some type of professional work history www.indeed.com/jobs?q=salesforce&l=Milwaukee%2C%20WI&vjk=a31f14efdbc3094e

[@brandonthompson4186]

@@NextLevelAdmin Thank you for the reply. I tried to learn coding a few years ago, but couldn't quite get into it, and stumbled upon Salesforce by accident and have been intrigued. Thanks again!

[@sethrogen7061]

Do you believe having a college degree is absolutely necessary to be successful in salesforce

[@mauricewhyte777]

If I have a Management Information System degree, can I land a job without the cert?

[@NextLevelAdmin]

Well.... lots of other things to factor in. If you are local to the business and can be on site that will probably help the most. Being willing to accept lower pay might help. I think having the ability to learn independently is the biggest quality to looking for in the Salesforce world because things change so often. But you know... it really depends on what the employer values.

Do you have knowledge on Salesforce Einstein Analytics jobs? How to get them?

I have coached people yes. Can I check out your linkedin profile and maybe can you send me your resume to [e-mail]?

I have an extensive Salesforce admin experience (over 5 years), but with no certifications, and Im still having a hard time scoring an interview.

[@mrbindhaas1520]

Hi Natalia, I wonder, with that many years of experience the certification is not much of problem for you right? or he work is different from the certification asked questions?

[@nataliab.7904]

sachin B, I’m being told that certification is required. Now, I don’t have access to an org.com email and I also don’t have much cash on hand to get a professional certification. Let’s just say I’m hitting some walls.

Hi, I'm currently studying for a 201 certification but am having trouble finding any admin jobs in the Chicago land area that aren't requiring previous admin experience. I have used Salesforce for 2 years now. Any help would be appreciated! Also, very open to remote opportunities

[@JD-qo7hm]

Im studying for the 201 too. My advice, list the experience anyway. If youve been using the platform effectively I don't think you need to have been in an admin role to claim the experience. For example, in my current job I handle a lot of the payroll and manage a lot of smaller projects as they come up via the estate manager, better believe im putting that I have both cash handling and project management experience on my resume lol. I heard someone in a video once say, "let THEM decide if you're qualified, don't decide for yourself." Worst case, they pass on you, best case they give you a shot to show who you are and what you can do in an interview.

[@kolbyjackcorgi]

I'm going to be honest to those who've stumbled across this video. If youre a certified Admin with no experience, even if you have a solid TH profile, it will be very difficult to get into SF. For the majority of candidates, it may take years and many rejected applications to get in the door. Even if your training in SF over the years has made you knowledgeable of the platform, the competition in SF at the admin level is becoming saturated. Most HR depts at any given company, honestly, dont even know what they want or what they're looking for. It's common that they'll ask for an Admin, but post requirements that really need a Dev, Consultant, or Architect. The increase in certified professionals has naturally begun to devalue the certifications (especially at the admin level) in which solid experience trumps everything else. I dont want to unnerve anyone, but for the majority of those who will likely see first-hand what I'm talking about, you need to be prepared to strategize your entry into the field with alternative pathways. Go to meetings and network. At this point, it's your best bet for getting your foot in the door and not ending up as just another resume on the cutting room floor.

[@jacobrepino3808]

Go to meetings and network? During the pandemic?

[@NextLevelAdmin]

Networking is a big challenge during the pandemic. I think now is a really hard time. But as business open back up it will be easier.

[@ramielkady938]

Guys, wake up. Do not strategize. Do not network. JUST BE SMART AND DO NOT GET INTO THIS LINE OF WORK. Study React.js for 6 months you will land a killer job. No cert, no experience, no BS. I am dead serious.

[@jamitchhabria]

Thank You Mate, This is kind of comment i was looking for. I think getting into functional nowadays its for those who are already in tech companies but not for outsider.

[@ramielkady938]

@@jamitchhabria It is very simple man. Do not do SF. You want something similar that will land you a killer job after 6 months of self study, do DevOps man. It really is this simple. This girl is super tough to befriend, pick an even prettier girl that IS EASY to befriend. Do not waste your precious time on the first girl, that is SF.

[@kirthu453]

I am working in a company at the same time i want to gain experience in Salesforce admin is that possible to apply this hour payment jobs simultaneously

[@NextLevelAdmin]

Get to know the admins at your company and make sure they know you want to learn. Also make sure your manager knows and the manager of the salesforce team. In other words, start with communication. If they want to encourage your learning they might be willing to setup a sandbox so you can see their specific implementation. Anything is possible. If you take on side work for hourly pay... some employers will not like you doing this on the side. So it's up to you if you want to damage that relationship.
