Thank you! Congrats on passing!

Thank you! I'm glad you've found it helpful. Hoping to share this info with anyone considering taking the exam.

I completely agree

Congrats on passing the exam! I'm glad to know that my video is on target with the test - I appreciate the feedback!

@@salesforcenow Thank you! I really hope if you could make a similar video or share some insights on Sales Cloud Consultant exam. I plan to give that in a few weeks.

I wish I could! I'm also sitting in on the Sales Cloud exam next month so it's doubtful that I'll have videos ready for that time. But best of luck on it and I'd love to hear how it goes for you!

@@salesforcenow Thank you! All the best to you too! Here is a youtube link below regarding the exam. See if this helps: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/htCKfcRlsLmtfGw.html

It is incredibly important to understand the concept well via doing it yourself. Build, build, build. Best of luck on your next attempt! Let me know if there is anything in particular you need help with.

Congrats!

Well done! Congrats!

Happy to help!

I do think that it can be a great career for those who are continuous learners and love to solve complex problems. I'd recommend going through Trailhead and building out a developer org to see if you like processes and tinkering.

@@salesforcenow Thank you for replying to my comment. I appreciate it. I was considering doing the admin certifications first then decide whether to purse the architect or developer pathway. I live in Canada that's why I am asking if salesforce is still in demand.

I believe the demand is still there. Certifications shouldn't be the end goal, but they do help you structure your Salesforce learning. Seems like you have thought this through!

Best of luck!

@@salesforcenowhey Ryan. Thanks for all your help. Passed it today on my first try

Thanks! Best of luck on your exam!

That's an absolute possibility! I'm not going to promise that it is an easy feat to get this certification with only user experience, but it will help you as you have a foundation for Salesforce navigation and commonly used objects.

I'm not sure I understand the comment. Those names are fake companies that Salesforce uses on the exams. The purpose of studying is to understand the topics well enough to answer scenario based questions (using the fake companies in the scenarios).

The probability of getting a job with a basic admin certification is never high - the certification shouldn't be the end goal. If you obtain the certification and couple that with the ability to demonstrate your learnings via a demo org, complete project work (volunteer, on your own, or as a freelancer), and build your network, then you have a higher likelihood of getting a job.

I do not endorse or encourage the use of exam dumps.

Can you help me understand what you mean by roadmap?

@@salesforcenow I mean if someone new with Salesforce how they start by their own? With study material and ready for job in Salesforce domain... Actually I have experience with Siebel CRM and i m looking for transition into the Salesforce

Hmmm, good question. If you're familiar with software and understand development/configuration practices, I think you have a great foundation to leap into Salesforce. I wouldn't be able to give any sort of timeline as that is highly dependent on your friend's work/study commitment - but I've heard of similar individuals with that background that felt confident after a few months time studying (trailhead, building in a free developer org, practice tests, etc) part-time.

There is no easy answer to that. Experience can be gained via building demo orgs, volunteer experience, and group projects. Try not to limit experience to being paid as that is very hard to come by initially.

The Salesforce Admin certification will be the best baseline knowledge for you to obtain. There is also an Associate exam that I've heard is helpful if you aren't familiar with Salesforce as a user. But the Admin exam is typically first in anyone's journey as it helps establish the structure of Salesforce with objects and fields.

Glad it was helpful! Suerte en su examen!

That's correct. 5 of the 65 are not graded on the test however. But I would set your aim higher than simply passing the exam. If you aim to master the concepts, you will be valuable admin - passing the exam will come in the process.

Of course! I hope the information was helpful. Are you taking the exam soon?

Yes ,plan to take it .

I do not have any currently. The last one I was aware of expired on June 30th.

@@salesforcenow ohh

I would recommend it if you are new to Salesforce.

@@salesforcenow im relatively new admin-sided I suppose. But through my company I've been using salesforce on the business side for close to 5 years.

User experience and admin experience is quite different. I'd still recommend you go through the trailhead. User experience will definitely help you as you likely have a good foundational knowledge on reports and objects. I also came from the business side before transitioning to an admin path.
