My heart aches for her. This is why I'm happy to take the damn vaccine. (Also, a small part of me is bitter that we're ignoring an issue that's affecting young women... just saying.)
@TheJobfather__
I heard about this! Woman’s gonna get a nice check from the employer AND the boss cuz WTF. Like, breaking and entering like that is INSANE
🥳NEW JOB, WHO DIS? 👩💼
As of yesterday, I've officially accepted an offer for a *NEW* Salesforce Administrator job. While bittersweet, it was the natural next step in my professional career and I thought I'd share a few thoughts that got me here.
@venusianhunty
I saw an interview where she talked about feeling ashamed about her big curves as a Sicilian woman and when she met Sheryl Lee Ralph, she stopped her from telling self-deprecating jokes and that just warmed my heart. Cuz she is a BABE and I can’t believe people shamed her.
⏰ Job Seeker Pro-tip: Apply before 10 am!
A study found by Indeed shows that applicants are nearly five times more likely to score an interview if they apply in between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m.

People are dying quite a lot due to hospital errors too- that doesn’t change the fact that COVID19 has overwhelmed our hospitals and our medical employees. There’s enough research to support that and doesn’t change the fact that gambling with people’s lives is ok.
@DineroPodcast
For those reading this tweet, I know one of the cofounders of HelloPrenup, and she's one of the reasons I am leaning harder on getting a prenup before I get married. "Plan for the worst", as you said.

When I was in Ireland they have an office in the airport you have to go to to fill out the application. Pretty much If you leave the country, you can’t do it so always account for it on your trip

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When saving your resume, always name it using the following format:
◼️ "[Your Name] Resume" OR
◼️ "[Your Name] Resume - [Your Professional Title]" OR
◼️ "[Your Name] Resume - [Job You're Applying For] Candidate"
Whenever people talk about Beyoncé has the same hours as the rest of us do, I remind them that THEY DO NOT. Humans make SO many decisions EVERY DAY. If I had personal assistants I would have more time to think about other things (business, leisure, quality time with loved ones).
I have some personal news for you all (and more next month :3) but ...
I got admission to the MS in Software Management Part Time program at Carnegie Mellon!!!
I am just so proud of myself for proving myself that I could do it. 💕

In case you STILL don’t get it (having no empathy for victims is not something to be proud of Btw):
That sentence tells us MULTIPLE crimes happened, so they’re being punished for each of them individually, and are serving all of them concurrently (200).
Per a discussion I had with a friend, I just wanted to share that when I was let go during the pandemic in 2020 I had actually proposed to my employer after being let go that I work as a contractor for part-time hours so the team could stay afloat. They accepted the offer.

One of the reasons I recommend self-study when getting that first Salesforce certification is not only because of saving money, but ACTUALLY getting used to doing it on your own.
(I cannot stress enough that this is an OPINION.)
While I've been attending school and working full time, certifications have had be de-prioritized. However, since I got a free voucher, I decided to give it a shot. I'm happy to report I'm now a x2

A long time coming! 💁♀️
Since my feed is filled with nothing but weird takes and disappointments, I thought I’d share a win: my post popular video on “A Day In My Life as a Salesforce Admin” had over 4k views and I have over 500 subscribers on YouTube now 😍

I'm just a small gal with BIG DREAMS to take over the world and change lives! Thank you all for the love and for giving me an outlet to share what I know.

@ParissAthena
I’ll be honest- even in coach for most parts I’ll say no. I only got guilted once because I could see some old Spanish lady muttering under her breath and the attendant looked like she was having a bad day 🤣😭
Just a reminder who are seeing all the certs and accomplishments and are overwhelmed:
You do not need to do EVERYTHING. Stay focused.
Focus on 1-2 critical skills and get to a marketable level. The next stage will come with time, I promise.
Can you imagine spending HOURS of your own personal time, unpaid, to provide TWO DIFFERENT lists of where to learn Salesforce, how to job hunt, and other career tips only to get THIS in your DMs?
I don’t get upset often, but it’s more labor that bums me out.
If anyone is wondering why I’m so adamant about becoming a black creator in the Salesforce space, this is why:
No hate at all to this creator, but the fact that top thought leaders are MOSTLY DUDES bums me out. No, it’s not all about race. But I believe it provides value.
A reminder to
#BlackTechTwitter
: if you grab a consultation with anyone, look at what FREE advice they give out first. Vet it.
If it didn’t pass, then wait a year… or long enough for them to get the experience themselves 🙃
Milestone Achieved! ✨
I just received my first check for my LinkedIn course! I'm so thankful for all of the awesome students who made this possible. ❤️
I'm excited to keep helping more people succeed as Salesforce admins. Stay tuned because this is just the beginning! 💪

Please clap 🥲🥰
Just another reminder that being a “nerd” or a “geek” is a compliment. Nothing like being the one that knows a lot about a topic thoroughly and passionately. Be that science nerd. Be that Disney geek. I see no issue here! 🤓❤️
First thing I wish I’d learned on day one of my first Salesforce Admin job (technically), despite having my cert, was a more extensive review of how to troubleshoot login issues. Would have saved me a lot of time in the first 30 days 🤣

newbies: If you’re looking for additional learning and upskilling- I HIGHLY recommend getting the AI Associate cert. SF is invested in GenAI.
No prereqs, but the test is $75 (budget friendly) AND you can learn for free with

I was officially issued a Certificate of Women's Entrepreneurship at eCornell yesterday!
Committed several hours a week since this spring to learning more about entrepreneurship.
Pretty cool 😎
@javavvitch
Someone explain to me why a LIFE COACH is saying this… the ones that I knew give advice of abundance. This goes against any life coach mindset that I’VE ever known.

There’s a really great video I watched by Solar Sands on YouTube that has a theory on that; I think people who like this may be interested in:
One of the best pieces of advice I ever received about job hunting is that luck & timing plays a role in securing a job. You are undoubtedly capable, but sometimes, the decision-maker's attention is divided, making the process beyond your control. Just stay focused in your lane!
Job hunting is a journey with no guaranteed result, period.
Despite a perfect resume, an ATS score above 90%, spot-on screening answers— It`s not always about qualifications; it`s a complex mix of timing, company needs & sometimes, just luck. It`s a process where many factors

In lieu of recent news about MTBF, I think I need to make sure it's very clear that I do NOT like when people are taken advantage of. I was not privy to all the client history, but it's thanks to you all speaking up that I know and am taking a stronger stance against the brand.

Between the layoff, financial crisis and school shootings, I just gotta say one thing: it’s ok to just focus on yourself.
I am pretty sure I’m happier BECAUSE I’m sticking to my work and hobbies right now 🙃
Just a thought for those experiencing the most recent round of

Please be kind to yourself. Your job does not equate to your worth. Take a break and worry about your bounce-back later.
I crossed the $10k mark in sales for my business! Took me a while, but I never intended on it for being a race.
Thank you all for the love and support! I have most that came from my consulting last year (which I no longer do outside of my 9-5), but I have come a LONG way.
Just reminding you all that Cardi is very informed about about what’s going on in her country. Love that she uses her platform to be vocal. Don’t dismiss her cuz she doesn’t use “your language”.
Cardi B goes off on the US government about the $120 Million Dollar budget cut in New York that'll effect Schools, Libraries, The Police Department, & Sanitation while funding wars.
A LOT of mistakes along the way, a LOT of putting things off because I had certain personal goals I wanted to meet, but I finally powered through and I can ✨FINALLY ✨ say I'm a Ranger!
It's a marathon, not a race, after all.
