How can I prove my Salesforce Admin skills without having professional Salesforce experience?

Hi everyone,

I've been learning Salesforce Administration, and I'm currently preparing for the Salesforce Administrator certification exam. Along with my studies, I also practice it.

Now I'm ready to start applying for Salesforce Admin jobs, but I have one concern. Since I don't have professional Salesforce work experience yet, I'm unsure how I can demonstrate my skills to employers.

For those who have been in the same situation, what would you recommend? How can I prove my abilities and make my resume stand out? 

Any advice, guidance, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!
