In my previous career, I studied fish sounds as a marine biologist. And you know what I found? Fish have a lot to say about what it takes to be a Salesforce Administrator. Wait, what?! Do fish even make sounds? Well, okay, maybe it wasn’t exactly the fish talking (though I did write a whole thesis about the “languages” of different species). But it turns out that many of the skills I learned as a scientist are similar to those I use now as a Salesforce Admin. If I can go from saltwater to System Administrator, then one thing is obvious: It doesn’t matter what your education or career background is — there are always transferable skills that you can apply to be an #AwesomeAdmin.
These are the six skills I learned as a marine biologist that helped me break into the Salesforce world and become a Salesforce Admin.
