Let's imagine you are standing at the gateway of the Salesforce industry, but you have no experience or background in it. Sounds scary, isn't it? Fear not, as this episode has Jordan Nelson, a veteran in the Salesforce industry, spilling the secrets to breaking into this swelling business, with no prior experience required. Nelson underscores the necessity of developing a social proof like a website or content that showcases your knowledge even before you step into an interview. Drawing inspiration from Amazon's product advertising strategies, he encourages you on how to sell your skills online.

But what if you're seeking to transition into the Salesforce industry? Anthony, another guest in this episode, unveils his riveting journey of breaking into the ecosystem. He shares how optimizing your LinkedIn profile, conducting comprehensive job research, and forming genuine connections within the Salesforce community can be valuable. Further, we probe the benefits of tailoring a job hunt program with a professional and the need for a razor-sharp focus on opportunities. 

Social media, often a double-edged sword, can be your best ally if used wisely. In this episode, we tap into the essence of being genuine on social platforms and how it aids in establishing your footprint in the Salesforce industry. We discuss the 'secret sauce' behind successful content creators and why developing resilience towards criticisms is a crucial life skill. Josh and Vanessa, our guests, emphasize the importance of consistency and learning from failures for success in the digital space. They also touch on the different career paths in the Salesforce ecosystem, the importance of taking risks, and not overthinking career decisions.
