Seeking Guidance to Build Career in ServiceNow | B.Tech CSE + PGDAC Background

[ashutosh2825]

Hello ServiceNow Community 👋,

My name is Ashutosh Kumar, and I recently started exploring the ServiceNow ecosystem with a strong interest in building my career in ITSM, workflow automation, and enterprise solutions.

I completed my B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering and also pursued PGDAC, where I developed skills in:

 Java, SQL, and Full Stack Development
 Cloud and Enterprise Technologies
 Scripting & Automation
 Database Management
 REST APIs and System Integration

Currently, I am learning ServiceNow through self-paced modules, guided projects, and community resources. I’m highly interested in understanding real-world implementations and industry best practices.

I’ve started learning topics such as:

🔹 ITSM Fundamentals
🔹 Flow Designer & Workflow Automation
🔹 User & Role Management
🔹 CMDB & CSDM
🔹 Knowledge Management
🔹 Virtual Agent & AI Workflows
🔹 Service Catalog & Incident Management

I’m also completing a ServiceNow Virtual Internship Program and exploring certifications like CSA (Certified System Administrator).

I would really appreciate guidance from experienced community members on:

1. Best roadmap to become job-ready in ServiceNow
2. Skills/modules most in demand for freshers
3.  How to gain real-world hands-on experience
4. Recommended projects to build a strong portfolio
5. Tips for getting internships or entry-level ServiceNow roles

I’m very passionate about learning ServiceNow deeply and contributing to enterprise workflow transformation and automation projects in the future 

Thank you for your support and guidance 🙏
