Hi all! I’m looking to move from an admin role into a consultant role and would love some tips, suggestions, etc. on the best path forward. A little on my background… I’ve been an admin for the same company for the last 8 years where I’ve done a lot with declarative configuration — creating custom objects/fields/record types/page layouts and also building out business processes into workflow rules, process builders, and as of a couple years ago only working with flows, etc. I have 4 certs - Admin, Advanced Admin, Platform App Builder and Business Analyst. I really enjoy building on the platform and solving problems and feel like a consultant role would be a great next move, but admittedly don’t know where to start. Any suggestions or tips from others who have made a similar move would be very much appreciated!

Update your resume so it's ready to send at a moment's notice. Indicate in your LinkedIn job preferences that you're open to consulting. Scan the job postings for consulting firms and apply. Don't be put off if it says a posting has 100 applicants -- that only means 100 people looked at the posting, not that they actually applied. Reach out to recruiters and let them know you're open to work and want to be on their rosters. Pretty soon you'll be deluged with offers!
