Working hard is overrated and bull**it. working smart and wisdom is what makes you wealth. Billions of people work hard around the world... still poor.
So what you’re telling me in this video is that I’m 58 years old I want to complete change my career and so forth is something that I am willing to work hard and try a courier. I missed a boat on this journey or is there a chance for me to start a new career
Hilarious and informative. Thank you! I kept seeing Salesforce preferred on just about every job listing I was looking at so it was time to do some digging.
Starting a business is the worse advice. Why? because we are looking for a job with no experience. If we start a company and succeed then we don't need to get a job. However, why look for a job if you had money to start a company? That is why people look for jobs to make money because they don't have any.
I came across this and realize I commented 3 years ago! I’d love to hear your opinion of the current Salesforce job market which is probably worse than what you predicted. I imagine you have some thoughts about where we’re headed!
Salesforce cloud based CRM solutions Founded by marc benioff in 1999. Salesforce product of the same company.. It established connection between teams like Sales, support and marketing.

Ye upar upar he itna kafi he samjhne ko and Salesforce architecture available in Google like understand in two ways first one multi tenet architecture and 2 nd -- real time use cases..
I can't stand Trailhead. I find it incredibly difficult because of the sea of counterintuitive jargon. I can't remember any of it and I really don't like it.
first , you start with 0 experience , if you can't get a job , lie !!! lie by inputting a small company name , to apply for little company jobs ! these won't check your background that much ! lie , put 6 months to 1 year experience !! don't do any volenteer work , just lie ! flat out lie but use small names not microsoft ! now , when u get your lowly pathetic first job , complete a year , you will have a good background check , at that point , you can have the approval of the latest job to cover your a$$ , and start aplying big !!! you have to lie !
It's true. As an individual who is putting himself out there every single time you apply to a job, you have to do this stuff otherwise you get overlooked.
Ok here's the thing... Salesforce is a very good program indeed but softphone is crap 🤣🤣🤣. Don't try to convince me anything else because I live it every day 😆😆
I literally know of someone who came to the USA along ago and still doesn’t speak any English. Now many may say that he has a very low-payment job or he sells drugs. Thing is that since no one would hire him because of his handicap, he ended up opening his own business. And he does well financially and even employs his own people. The lesson is open your own business because you will learn ten times quicker and grow wiser. Than you would had you get hired and worked for someone else who only sees you as something repleceable. On top of that you will be more likely to become financially set for life and provide for your people.
David! Not sure where you are these days, I hope you and your family are well. Dropping by to say that I finally got Developer certified a few months ago and it all started with you and your free apex training resources. Thank you 🙏 I hope we see you again one day.
One of my hobbies is drawing and making art. Although its done on the side and for fun, I sometimes would draw stuff for people whether they be friends or strangers. Could I add that I worked as a freelance artist? I can try to fake a small company where I would get art commissions and get paid for completing them. Idk if this would be relevant for my computer science major though.
Hello David!! your videos are awesome, thank you very much!!! One question for you: for getting the Sales, Service or Advanced admin certs, would you recoomend always paying for the courses that SF suggests? they are very expensive for me.. do you think that alternative courses would do it? like... udemy??
This was perfect. I have been self employed as a freelancer for years. I don't even need to lie or stretch the truth about that. From there I can fill in whatever experience I need to. Thanks!
So if I want to get my Salesforce Admin Certification as quickly as possible, should I just go through that Trailmix or should I focus my time on the Trailhead badges you are suggesting? I want to get my admin cert the absolute quickest way possible... probably a silly question, but how should I do that?
Create an LLC or a startup of one. Try your best to make it succeed. Use the technology you'd love to be hired for. You just created actual experience. Your startup is as good as any startup. Work for yourself, create your own experience. Create a portfolio against your company your actually trying to sell. Voila... You just got real actual experience. As real as any fly by night startup. That's no lie there and Id bet you'd learn things trying to run a startup that'd give you more offerings then just coding.
Background Check companies can crush the volunteer option, and own company option. So the key is making sure it's verifiable. Inquire at the volunteer place if they keep volunteer records for future verification. If your own "real" "" company, don't say it's your company. background check companies automatically will want 'articles of incorporation' or 'tax records' as forms of verification. So solution is to say you are an employee and find a away to self verify.
Background check companies will be able to know the owner name of the company if you say you are an “employee”, at my own company?! How the can verify the legitimacy of a company if I just run a website and online present without having LLC ?
@@W.A.777background check people are underpaid agency workers who are not trained to sniff out fake websites. Their job is to perform an employment verification to the company you said you work at. Most of the time they already know who to contact for known companies. If it was new company in their records they google the company site and go to the contact page, or they try the contact you provide. If it was me i would make an hr email under site domain an direct all employment verification to be done via e-mail there. No calls.
Maaan.. Where were you when i ropeed off highschool :D My favorite way to spice up my cv is to inflate my old work experiences - lot of them for companies that no longer exists so you can write anything believable. next time i´ll be looking for new job i´ll get really wild with it bcs i dont care anymore :D
