As we continue discussing certifications, please join me in repeating this phrase: “Certifications are valuable, but they cannot replace hands-on experience.”
It’s common for beginners to believe that certifications offer a shortcut to advancement in the Salesforce industry. However, experienced professionals and hiring managers recognize that this is not the case.
Salesforce certifications are an excellent way to solidify your knowledge and demonstrate to potential employers that you possess a particular level of expertise. However, there’s no substitute for real-world experience working on Salesforce implementations, including the highs and lows that come with it.
One way to optimize your certification journey is to ensure that you’re comprehending the concepts and not merely memorizing multiple-choice answers. In addition to studying theory, it’s critical to practice implementing and customizing features in a developer org.
