CSA & CAD Certified Fresher Seeking Entry-Level ServiceNow Developer Opportunities & Referrals

[Manish2026]

Dear ServiceNow Professionals,

I am currently a final-year B.Tech student in Computer Science & Engineering (Data Science) and am actively seeking entry-level opportunities in the ServiceNow ecosystem.

I have earned the following certifications:
• ServiceNow Certified System Administrator (CSA)
• ServiceNow Certified Application Developer (CAD)

Along with my certifications, I have gained hands-on experience in ServiceNow application development, including custom applications, tables and forms, Business Rules, Client Scripts, Flow Designer, ACLs, and workflow automation.

I am primarily looking for opportunities such as:
• ServiceNow Developer
• Associate/Junior ServiceNow Developer
• Other relevant entry-level ServiceNow roles

If your organization is hiring freshers or candidates with 0–1 year of experience, I would sincerely appreciate any information about suitable openings or a referral for a relevant position.

I am open to opportunities across India and have attached my resume for reference.

•  Email: manishnarayan2005@gmail.com
• LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/manishnarayansahoo
• Phone: +91 7749005484

I would be grateful for any leads, referrals, or guidance from professionals in the ServiceNow ecosystem.

Thank you for your time and support.

Hi @Manish2026 

Being a trainer, I may not always be able to help you directly in getting a job, but I can definitely guide you on how to move forward.

You need to understand that ServiceNow is growing wider and bigger. Having only ITSM or CSA knowledge may not be enough to stand out in the current market. I can share your profile, but to improve your chances, you need to build stronger skills and add more product knowledge.

ITSM is the foundation, so please continue strengthening your basics. Along with that, start learning additional modules like SAM, GRC, CSM, etc., as these can help your CV stand out and increase your chances of getting shortlisted.

Nowadays, many companies are looking for developers who have scripting knowledge along with experience in multiple ServiceNow modules. Since you already have scripting skills, adding 2–3 product/module skills with hands-on practice and labs will make your profile much stronger.

Focus on understanding the modules, building practical use cases, and gaining confidence in explaining how these products work. This will give you a better advantage when applying for ServiceNow opportunities.

1. Spend at least 1–2 hours daily on the ServiceNow Community. Observe the kinds of technical questions being asked and how experienced members respond. You’ll learn a lot passively this way—and I highly encourage you to start answering questions as well. Explaining concepts to others will improve your technical thinking and deepen your understanding.

1. Explore the free courses available on the ServiceNow Developer Site. These are practical and focused, and will help you apply your knowledge directly on the platform.

Thank you so much, Dr. Atul, for taking the time to share such detailed guidance.

I completely understand your point that CSA and CAD are only the beginning, and that stronger product knowledge and hands-on experience are essential to stand out in the ServiceNow ecosystem.

I will continue strengthening my ITSM fundamentals while building practical knowledge in additional modules such as CSM, GRC, and SAM. I’ll also spend more time on the ServiceNow Community, learn from technical discussions, and gradually start contributing wherever I can.

As a final-year B.Tech CSE student actively looking for an entry-level opportunity in the ServiceNow ecosystem, I would be very grateful if you could keep my profile in consideration or share it with any relevant connections or opportunities where my current skills and willingness to learn could be a good fit.

Thank you again for your guidance and support. I’ll definitely work on the areas you suggested.

Hello @Manish2026 ,

Here are few tips that i followed personally :

First of all, for the ServiceNow CSA exam, there are two recommended prerequisite courses. These courses help you understand all the core ServiceNow concepts, configurations, and skills required to clear the CSA.

They also provide essential hands-on knowledge that every ServiceNow Administrator should have.

Most of the time, people get bored reading such a big eBook. However, it is very helpful for the exam. If you have already gone through the concepts in the eBook, and the same topics appear in the exam, you can quickly recognize that those questions are from specific sections.

So, don’t ignore the eBook—try to complete it.

The most important parts of the eBook are the last sections, such as Security Center, Shared Responsibility Model, and ServiceNow Encryption. These sections are often overlooked, but based on personal experience, around 4–5 questions can come from them.

Also, most of the theory and concepts in the eBook are already covered in ServiceNow prerequisite courses, so it becomes easier to revise quickly.

 CSA exam blueprint you can refer from here :

Here are few thread that you can refer for interview question  :
