There are a lot of jobs in Salesforce, but demand is different around the globe. So, if you are serious at getting a job in Salesforce, then the best way is to immerse yourself in EVERYTHING Salesforce. Make sure you set a goal but remember that a goal without a plan is just a wish. Identifying your Salesforce career goal In my experience, when people think of their Salesforce learning goals, they have the wrong goal or the goal is too nearsighted. The goals “pass the Salesforce Administrator Certification” or “get a Salesforce admin job” are worthy aims, but I think starting with a longer-term goal is better. So a long term goal could be “To be successful, useful and enjoy working with Salesforce”.
