Day in the Life: Malik – Moved to the UK in 2020 and became a Salesforce Technical Consultant within 2 years!

Malik, moved to the UK in 2020 at the height of the pandemic and wasn't sure what career path he wanted to take. His aunt suggested he learn something new, and make himself more marketable in an ever changing and unstable economic climate, and so pointed him in the direction of Supermums as a starting point. He has now completed the Supermums Admin course, as well as the Supermums Consultancy course, and is now Technical Consultant at Arcus Global.

Malik, moved to the UK in 2020 at the height of the pandemic and wasn’t sure what career path he wanted to take. His aunt suggested he learn something new, and make himself more marketable in an ever changing and unstable economic climate, and so pointed him in the direction of Supermums as a starting point.

At first he thought this was a course just for mums so contacted the Supermums support team to find out more. They got back to him straight away, and assured him the course is all inclusive, and all you need is internet and a laptop.

 

Malik decided to take the Supermums Salesforce Admin course because… 

‘I was drawn to how interactive the course was. And it didn’t disappoint. Everyone during the course was welcoming and warm, and at no point did I feel isolated,  particularly as, due to the nature of the name Supermums, there are more women than men that take the course. Our trainer took her time explaining basic concepts to us in way that we could understand given some of us weren’t from technical backgrounds. A bond developed within our group; we had a good team and the group chat was a great way for us to communicate.

The stand out part of the course for me was the mentorship. That was very good. When I got introduced to my mentor, I was told we had been paired based on where I wanted to be, and what I wanted to achieve. It was very well considered, and I was given a very wonderful mentor who I deeply respected. He was the first person I told when I passed my Admin exam!’

 

Malik has now successfully achieved a Salesforce career that offers him…

‘Flexibility. I’m mostly working remotely, but I have to option to travel if I want to. It also offers progression. A year after passing the Salesforce Admin exam, I enrolled in the Supermums Consultancy Skills course. After working as Sales Admin for the past year, I knew I wanted to do more.

Pushing for growth and solving problems were two aspects of my role I was particularly interested in, and so the Consultancy Skills course was the next logical step for me. Plus knowing that Heather was going to be delivering the course was an added bonus! There was the opportunity to pick her brain, and to really learn from someone who has so much experience when it comes to leading consultancies was an opportunity I couldn’t miss.’
