Kim, from Winchester, England, was a Veterinary Nurse, and had never heard of Salesforce! After falling out of love with her existing role, and craving more flexibility, a job with career progression and more money, her friend recommended she look at Salesforce.

 

Kim decided to join the Supermums Admin course because…

As a Vet Nurse, Kim was completely non technical, and had never heard of Salesforce but when her friend recommended it at the end of 2022, it looked like something exciting.

‘I was looking for a role with more flexibility, better salary, more learning anf career progression opportunities. I started learning Salesforce on Trailhead. It was great with so many resources but it was so easy to get lost down a rabbit hole. I can’t remember how i first heard about Supermums but the accountability and structure was something that i really needed so i could learn the right skills to get certified and new job. Also the support and community were what i needed!”

 

Kim was able to launch her career in Salesforce because…

“I was on the Salesforce Admin February 2023 cohort. Having a mentor was invaluable, and the work experience project really helped. I started looking for a job in the September and I got offered a job and started at the beginning of December.”

“I work for a Leisure company, as part of IT team, where i’m a solo Salesforce Admin working with over 91 sites across UK. I also work alongside the parent Group / head office, where there are other Salesforce architects and engineers with lots of experience for me to learn from. They had previously used Salesforce, then stopped using it, then my role was created when they re-implemented it. As it’s new, we are all learning as we go and there lots of change management to get the most out of the system.”

“I can’t believe how much i’ve learned and grown since i first started as it is such a steep learning curve but, it’s empowering to see how i’ve grown in my role and how i now truly understand the processes.”

Kim was able to sell herself at interview because…

‘I knew that i didn’t have lots of experience but i highlighted the experience i’d gained on the Supermums course and i’ve shown determination to change careers and continue learning over the past 12 months. They ran me straight afterwards and offered me the job and i was so happy! I’d got the job that i wanted, and £10k more than other roles i was interviewing for!”

“If you have a learner mindset, enjoy fact finding, problem solving and finding solutions, then this is the role for you as its never stops!”
