Hi  @Somraj Tejavath https://trailblazers.salesforce.com/profileView?u=005KX000004ELFEYA4  For the next 3–6 months, I suggest focusing on practical skills rather than just certifications. Salesforce Admin:  Learn Objects, Relationships, Security, Validation Rules, Reports and Dashboards. Flow Automation:  Practice Record-Triggered Flows and Screen Flows with real-time scenarios. Development:  Learn SOQL, Apex, Triggers, Test Classes and basic LWC. Real-Time Projects:  Build at least 2 complete projects and understand how to explain them in interviews. Interview Preparation:  Practice scenario-based questions, improve communication skills and attend mock interviews. Agentforce & Data 360:  Learn the fundamentals to stay updated with the Salesforce ecosystem. My advice:  Don't try to learn everything at once. Build a strong foundation in Admin and Flow first, then move to Development.    Companies look for freshers who can understand requirements, solve problems and explain what they have built. All the best!

Hii  @Somraj Tejavath https://trailblazers.salesforce.com/profileView?u=005KX000004ELFEYA4 For a fresher aiming to land their first Salesforce Developer job in the next 3–6 months, I’d recommend focusing on practical skills rather than just completing certifications. Salesforce Fundamentals:  Understand standard and custom objects, relationships, formula fields, validation rules, profiles, permission sets, and sharing rules. Flows and Automation:  Learn Record-Triggered Flows, Screen Flows, approval processes, and how to handle automation errors. Apex and SOQL:  Practice triggers, trigger frameworks, bulkification, governor limits, asynchronous Apex, SOQL, SOSL, and test classes. Lightning Web Components (LWC):  Learn JavaScript, component communication, lifecycle hooks, wire services, and how to connect LWCs with Apex. Integrations:  Understand REST APIs, callouts, authentication, and JSON handling. Real-World Projects:  Build 2–3 end-to-end projects that solve actual business problems. Focus on clean code, error handling, security, testing, and deployment using Salesforce CLI and Git. Interview Preparation:  Practice scenario-based questions, debugging, Apex coding, SOQL queries, and explaining your projects clearly. I’d also recommend preparing for the Salesforce Platform Developer I certification, but don’t rely on certifications alone. A strong project portfolio and the ability to explain your technical decisions can make a real difference.     Please mark as best answer if it helps !!!    Thanks ,  Deepak sachdeva
