Making Career Change to SFDC - Advice Welcomed
Good morning, everyone!
I just wanted to introduce myself to the boards. I have been a technical recruiter for a little over a decade and have placed several CRM people in the past several years. I have worked with SFDC in 2009 as a user and really liked it. I have placed Salesforce.com consultants at clients site on some really good projects. I am now in the stage of my life that I would like to make a move to a new career as a Salesforce.com Consultant. Its safe to say that I am done watching from the sidelines and want to enter the game myself.
My plan is to become a functional consultant and to get certified. Unfortunately, I do not have the funds to take the courses so plan on doing this on my own. I know that this will take some time to learn but plan on setting aside 3 - 4 hrs a day. I have bought, "Salesforce.com For Dummies" book and downloaded Force.com Fundamentals "An Introduction to Custom Application Development in the Cloud". I hope this will help me get started to a great career.
Please feel free to add any resources or direction.
Thanks!
Joe

Look for the recerting apps excerise that should help you and that should all. I see if you have covered the book you are good to start.
Also learn about SDLC and about BA/ QA and developer job so you know all about it.
Good Luck.
