Researching for my Skills

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello everyone. Firstly I hope this is the right topic to ask my question, if not please move the right one. Thx.

Secondly - the -pre-question. I'm a developer in another CRM (not be doing an advertising). I'm doing CRM integrations like an entrepreneur:
1. Call to the client.
2. Meeting with the client and his team.
3. Understanding his "wants". (3-rd party integrations, REST-API, IP - telephony, Workflow, Salesflow, Reports, Automations, etc.)
4. Doing a quote for him.
5. Sign an agreement, receives money and start working.

But I'm doing all my steps in Russia market. And I have plans to try my skills with the US market. But I understand two things A) My CRM is not popular in US B) I need to become a Microsoft Dynamics CRM expert and start working at 1-2 years in US company (may by agreement or like a team member).

I really love what I do, and I'll be happy become from a team member to may a partner of my future company.

Third, the questions.
1) In the Second part of my text I explain steps what I'm actually doing right now. What is it right name of that Job in US market? (like Senior CRM integration specialist)?
2) Is it hard to understand the basics and so on, when you know very well another CRM (not Microsoft Dynamics CRM) and later on being an Expert in Microsoft Dynamics CRM?
3) Does anybody have an opportunity and experience to move from your country to US to work like a CRM integration specialist?

Thx, I'll be happy if somebody help me with the answers, Vitaly.

    Right now looking through the MVA (Microsoft Virtual Academy) and filtered cources by word "Dynamics" and actully was found that a lot of theory (ideology) about how CRM system should works, whithout a practice. So I'm filtered by "dynamics" word and sorted by the published date. Or fresher cources will have a practice information about Dynamics CRM 365?

    2018_2D00_06_2D00_24_5F00_2229.png

    I asked manager is it possible to change that vaycher to one of certificates for MS Dynamics 365. If the answer will be "no", what is more closer certificate to the Senior CRM Functional(Technical) Consultant? )

    Yes its international certification and recognized everywhere.

    Analyst is more in to requirement analysis and mapping product or configuring products. They may also do Analytics as part of their other duties.

    Yes the average cost of certificate is about 80$ per exam. Am I right?

    If you come to Canada, you will not need to start from the bottom. Your experience will be recognized. The steps for you would be to become certified since consulting firms put a huge premium on that.

    The certifications are way better for you since it will not only help you get a job, but also help you become a freelance consultant if you wish to do so in the future.

    Yeah I just looked through the certificates. It looks like more for Dynamics CRM is on English language - so it's okay)

    Like I said before I'm an enterpreneur in Russia like I found that certificates some times not helping "close the client deal" rather than my skills. But it's in my country in other world probably certificates + skills (and not alone) is the must stuff to have)

    Again thx, for you advices very helpful!
