I have worked in the IT industry from the early 2000s, and my job has included among other things maintenance of servers, testing and systems specialist role in the banking and financial sector. In addition, I have also worked in a sales organization as a sales support. In August 2018 I received a severance package and had a moment to reflect on the past and the future.
Looking back, I found that during my career, almost all the systems I worked with were more or less "in house" solutions. So, every time I changed jobs, I had to learn the new in-house systems. When learning new things, the old experience is helpful, and similarities can be found. I got a tip that this course was about to begin, and I started to learn about Salesforce's ecosystem, which got me interested with Trailhead's great help.
Currently I am working as a Salesforce Admin/Consultant in Tieto.
My current team is full of amazing people and I am grateful that I get to be a part of it. I have learned a lot of interesting things and much remains to be learned, for example I have certifications to be completed.
Without Salesforce Academy I would not be where I am today.
I would definitely recommend Salesforce Academy if you are interested in working with a global system.
