The Salesforce Career Show

Ever considered a career in Salesforce after serving in the military? What if I told you that transitioning from a military career to a Salesforce professional isn't as daunting as it seems? Join us in this episode as we chat with Phillip Anderson and Dave Nava, two veterans who've walked this path successfully. They share insights from their journey and the resources they found invaluable.
Have you ever wondered how to stand out in a slowing job market? Phillip, Dave, and the panel share some of their strategies for breaking into the Salesforce ecosystem. They discuss alternative ways of gaining work experience such as volunteering and earning super badges. Staying active within the community and building a diverse skill set is another strategy they emphasize.
As we wrap up, we focus on the resources available to veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses in the Salesforce ecosystem. From Salesforce Military to VetForce and Salesforce Trailhead Military Programs, we've got you covered. We also discuss the unique advantages of the Mentor Connect platform. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to every veteran for their service and sacrifice. Tune in to start or further your journey in Salesforce with us – you are not alone!
