Why Soft Skills Matter (1)

Salesforce projects are a team effort. They require collaboration and stakeholder engagement to succeed.

In a competitive job market, your soft skills can help you to stand out and get ahead.

Here are 4 ways to think about your non-technical experience so that you can highlight it on your resume and in your interview answers:

 

  • Requirements
    • Uncovering and understanding the unique needs of your stakeholders is crucial to delivering a product that delights its users.
    • Think about times when you have worked successfully with stakeholders to develop a deep understanding of the project requirements.

 

  • Problem Solving
    • Bumps in the road happen in every project.
    • Can you provide examples of when you were able to respond to unexpected challenges and successfully deliver a solution?

 

  • Influence
    • Salesforce specialists are often responsible for championing Salesforce and driving adoption.
    • When have you worked with users or non-specialist team members to inspire and motivate them to engage with the platform or the project?

 

  • Relationships
    • Salesforce is so much more than a CRM tool.  It’s a community. Your relationships across the Salesforce community can help you bring valuable resources or new perspectives to your project.
    • When has your network helped you to produce better results?
    • The Salesforce ecosystem is constantly innovating.
    • Be open to opportunity; network, attend conferences and gain new certifications. Being able to adapt to new processes, updates and customer priorities is essential.
