Q. What advice would you give those interested in a Salesforce career?
A. Educate yourself! There is an abundance of blogs online, from various companies and Salesforce media outlets, as well as videos on YouTube. Trailhead has free resources and you can even play around in a demo org for practical learning. In terms of getting a job in the industry, if you have no prior experience, I would advise that you opt for an entry-level job in a company that offers them.

Q. What does a typical working day look like for you?
A. Mainly, I’m implementing Sales Cloud solutions for clients. This includes a variety of tasks including creating objects, fields, reports & dashboards, designing and developing automations using Flows and Apex classes, inspecting client data and making necessary changes using data import/export, and plenty more. Although it’s not always a part of a typical working day, designing solutions also makes up the bulk of project work during the initial planning phase.
