How I Became a Salesforce Admin with No Experience | if i can do it, you can do it too, duuuh

A lot of people are asking how I landed my internship:

I landed the internship by applying to entry level / internships on LinkedIn.

I searched for Salesforce intern. I didn’t wanna limit myself to the word admin since a lot of companies use variations of title for the same responsibilities.

My resume during that time was focused on working in the lab / health care side.
Luckily the company I interned for is focused on research.

So I think I had experience in regards to knowing some context of the research world. I also made sure to connect w the hiring managers and message them to show that I really wanted the job.

If you’re coming from a different field, which most of us are — I think there is a higher chance of landing an interview if you apply within the same industry.

Let’s say you’re from finance, many financial companies also use Salesforce that aren’t Salesforce literate. So I would highlight my relatable skills in my resume and make sure to mention those as a summary when I message the hiring managers.

Don’t be afraid to apply! Specially internships. They know you aren’t experienced and if they’re looking for interns, that means they have some willingness to mentor.

My previous mentor, she wasn’t a Salesforce admin but she did know the basics using Salesforce as an end user.

Most of the time I learned by practicing on sandbox, automations and actions I wanted to implement. Then uploading / redoing them on production so I get the hang of using the platform.

is 70k/yr rly big tho in this economy

Everybody is asking for experience

hey i really appriciate your success, i have one question i.e i am graduated from arts field and planning for SF as career , so is it a good idea for me?

How many hours a week do you work? Do you ever work after hours or weekends? Unlimited PTO scares me because companies I have worked for that have unlimited PTO it ended up being an illusion. Those companies ended up being terrible to work for. How would you rate your unlimited PTO at this company?

Are you able to work freely at your leisure?

Hi MIkee,

Really liked the video. Wanted to ask.. what is the most DIRECT way of becoming an admin? I am on Trailhead and see that there are a lot of trails and videos that you could watch but might not necessarily direct one to becoming an admin. I want to try and become one as fast as possible and look for work. Could you help me?

Thank you for this video, I am at the beginning of learning as a salesforce administrator. Greetings from Poland

I love your charisma! Experience or no experience I'd hire you too :) Happy for you girl! Love the strategic way you went about landing this awesome job

Thank you so much for making this amazing video.

This is an excellent and well-informative video. Thinking of making a career shift and this helped a lot, thank you!

Madam what is your salary right now

I stopped doing my lessons on trailhead because I got overwhelmed and doubted myself. I’m gonna try again 😊

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing your story Mikee! Salesforce has lots of opportunities for those looking to switch careers or who are just starting their careers!

COULD you please share your resume for SF

Amazing video ❤

hello mikee, can you do content about effective resumes and LinkedIn profiles for entry level admins. I have my certification for admin but I didn't have any paid role in a project I always volunteered in some bootcamps so ı am a bit lost in resume part

Hi, having same situation done certification and looking for internship but no interview is coming can you help me out

Hello can you tell how to find a job as a salesforce admin

This is the issue I have with SF certifications. They are supposed to be passed by people that actually have broad experience in working with Saleforce, but... getting a job without any Certs is really hard so it is a logical loop. What is more, the deeper you go, the harder certifications get and we you start working in the system even with Certs you are not able to perform very well. I would love employers to respect Superbadges rather than certs... Congrats on passing your exam and good luck with upcoming ones.

Is your job fully remote or hybrid? I'm trying to find a fully remote one where I can travel.

Well done :) I have similar experience of getting SF Admin job from no experience.

Hello, I want to ask, if it will be easy for someone trying from Nigeria, because of what people talk about Nigeria.

Hi i am looking out for a job in Salesforce vlocity can u please help me

How long did it take you to study ?

Why does what you describe sound like a complete scam?

Thank you for helping me I just lookied focus on force

Pretty much all the intern positions I’m seeing says “currently enrolled in a university” as a requirement. So do you need to be in school or not? Cuz I’ve seen multiple say you don’t need to, but every internship I’m seeing near me is saying so.
