Any Advice? First ServiceNow Job

[jeisgar13sn]

Hi Everyone! I recently joined ServiceNow University and am planning on finishing my certification by this upcoming weekend. I have about 5 years of software development experience on the side. I was wondering if there are any tips on how to land my first job for a ServiceNow Application Developer?

Go through ServiceNow fundamentals on-demand course and get certified in ServiceNow CSA. As per your post, you are on target for this by weekend and you are all set

You can go through scripting and development concepts as it would help you with any ServiceNow modules that you would be working in future,

Make use of your PDI to full extent to practice what you learn as hands-on would be the most essential part of your learning phase

Register with ServiceNow University and go through course contents.

Developer learning plans are easier to understand the modules compared to official documentation and would recommend to start learning in phases, start with New to ServiceNow and later ServiceNow Administration followed by ServiceNow Application Developer,

Go through ITSM and Application Development Fundamentals on-demand courses and get certified in CIS-ITSM and CAD.

If you need any help, you can post in communities and experts can guide you. There are lots of YouTube videos available depending on your topic of interest and thousands of useful blogs available in ServiceNow communities. You can search in communities and YouTube and follow what suits your learning style the best.

Congratulations on your ServiceNow journey & all the best your certification exam !
