Ending This Community
Hi Folks. I appreciate the commitment to your Salesforce Career and I am still committed to support your efforts to get Accredited, Certified, and Experienced. I've decided to shift gears and go to work directly with my Ideal Clients: Veterans that Own or Operate a Business. I have created a NEW Skool Community: https://www.skool.com/veterans/about Where we can: - Direct our Salesforce Military Fans: MilitaryDreamin.com - Support Veteran Owned Businesses: Veteran Business Builders - Help you generate your own income: https://jobs.salesandtechnology.com - Get Veterans the help they need to succeed: https://vetforceacademy.com - Help put an end to Veteran Suicide The community will shut down January 5, 2025, but I will also send you an email with instructions. We're just changing platforms to better serve the communities that are in desperate need of my passionate attention. 🥲

ACE Learning Lab - Admin Certification Prep Overview
ACE Learning Labs - December 05 VIEW RECORDING - 90 mins (No highlights) Meeting Purpose Certification review for the Salesforce Admin certification, covering core Salesforce concepts and exam preparation strategies. Key Takeaways - Salesforce security model is built on profiles (defining object/field access) and sharing rules (controlling record-level access) - Understanding the differences between standard vs custom objects/fields is crucial for admin capabilities - Exam strategy: Eliminate wrong answers, don't make assumptions, and consider scalability when choosing between similar options - Consistent study habits, hands-on practice, and a structured approach to exam preparation are key to success Topics Salesforce User Basics - Users have unique logins based on purchased licenses and assigned profiles - User record contains personal info, security settings, and locale preferences - Locale controls time zone, language, currency, and data formatting for the user - Multi-currency orgs calculate exchange rates relative to company default Profiles and Record Access - Profiles control object/field access, UI elements, and system permissions - Record access depends on ownership and sharing rules (OWD, role hierarchy, sharing rules, manual sharing) - "View All" and "Modify All" permissions override normal sharing restrictions

I'm looking forward to reviewing this call. Thank you for putting this group together.
Certification Test Preparation: How to pass every certification exam.
Can you answer all of the questions on a practice exam correctly? Oh no.. don't do that. Remember, the secret to passing your certification exam: Don't Pick the Wrong Answers. How to use a test dump? Use it to develop 3 skills: 1.) Identifying the EXACT requirements of the Question (just the question); Nothing More; Nothing Less 2.) Categorize or Group Answers to help Eliminate INcorrect Variables within the answer and therefore Eliminate Multiple Answers as possibly correct. 3.) Picking the BEST right answer. That means understanding that just because something works, doesn't mean it works best or at scale: the scale of 1 to the scale of 1million transactions worth of effort. What matters most is that you can tell why the wrong answers don't meet the requirements and THEN pick the best of the right answers. What makes an Answer correct? 1.) The words match the words on the screen WITHIN the platform 2.) The effort makes sense 3.) The answer doesn't violate any best practices Does the answer count if you get it partially correct? NO WHY? Because that's how Salesforce tests the 'lesser known' features within the system by making sure you can eliminate the wrong features for that question. Here's the BEST Test Taking Strategy 1.) Read each question and answer thoroughly and eliminate obviously wrong answers 2.) Pick the Best answer 3.) If you're 100% sure (and careful if you are), then mark the question for review: Go with your Gut Learn how to use the Mark for Review: a) quickly identify the topic or "item" you're not sure of b) write it down on the paper or digital notepad provided c) continue to take the test Here's the part that's key: If you continue to take the test, and another question describes that "thing" you have marked for review (and you notice it), then take a quick peek at your notepad and see if the question and answers "teach you anything" that would help you with the question you have marked for review. IF SO, then go and check out the question you had marked for review to determine if any new information would help you decide on the best right answer. If it does, Adjust your answer or not, and remove the Mark for review selection and MOVE ON to the next question in the exam.

When I took my Salesforce Associate Exam, I marked several for review and was able to make appropriate adjustments. When I took the Admin Exam, I also marked several for review, but I didn't feel as confident even after seeing all of the other questions. Those two exams asked questions at completely different levels, and understandably so. I greatly appreciate the strategy laid out here, and will be making more use of the scrap paper that the testing center provides when I take my retake on 1/9. Thank you.
Start With LinkedIn - Everyone should start here
In the Career Options Classroom, I posted the link to begin building your LinkedIn profile with an awesome training. I hired Elisa Bennett 4 1/2 years ago and I landed two kick ass jobs because of LinkedIn. NOW... I'm going to go through the course again and invite you to take her free course with me and post on your journey. https://www.elisabbennett.com/free-linkedin-marketing/ Post your journey through the course here or in the Classroom.

Thank you for sharing this. I'm going to focus on getting my Salesforce Admin Cert first. Then I can start to diversify and lean on more of my LinkedIn presence. If I have too many irons in the fire, I won't be able to do any of them well.

Outside of my passion for Salesforce I enjoy long distance running. I also enjoy spending time with my wife, children and dogs.
