Hakeuduin Salesforce Academyyn alanvaihtajana. Ohjelma oli minusta erinomainen kokemus; mukaan mahtui kouluttajavetoisia kurssipäiviä, itseopiskelua ja käytännön työskentelyä partneriyrityksessä. Academyn aikana suorittamani Salesforce-sertifioinnit auttoivat mittaamaan osaamiseni tasoa, ja ”sertit” ovat myös arvostettuja alan työnantajien keskuudessa.

Academyn lopussa Accenture tarjosi minulle työpaikkaa Salesforce-konsulttina ja valinta oli helppo. Ala on kaiken kaikkiaan erittäin mielenkiintoinen ja osaajista on kysyntää. Urapolkuja on monenlaisia, ja kun se omalta tuntuva juttu löytyy, on tärkeää olla myös itse aktiivinen oman kehittymisensä kanssa – kysyvä ei tieltä eksy!
