Looking to land a job working with Salesforce? Great!

So you’ve completed a few Trailhead modules. You’ve earned some Superbadges, maybe even a Salesforce certification. What’s next?

Before you start showing off your newly acquired Salesforce skills, let’s get one thing straight:

Employers don’t care about your Salesforce knowledge.

They care about whether you can solve their problems.

Here are three portfolio-worthy projects that will help you showcase how can solve real-life business problems using Salesforce!

1. Design a Sales Dashboard

Salesforce dashboards are one of the most important functionalities of the platform.

In fact, access to dashboards is one of the main reasons why many organizations implement Salesforce in the first place! And what better way to showcase your dashboard know-how than with a Sales Dashboard?

The truth is, anybody can build a dashboard in Salesforce. For your dashboard to stand out, it must show careful design, actionable metrics, and a deep understanding of what data is valuable to a sales leader.
