After starting his career in the UK Military Police, Jonathan Fox’s life took a transformative turn when he discovered that he was soon to become a father. Motivated by his growing family, Jonathan made the courageous decision to leave the military and embark on a new path. Jonathan's fate intertwined with technology at a family BBQ where his brother-in-law introduced him to Trailhead. Seizing the opportunity, Jonathan immersed himself in learning during his free time.
What began as a curiosity quickly evolved into the pursuit of a new career when Jonathan started to explore the Salesforce Developer path. He earned his first Salesforce certification, a significant step that not only validated his skills but also paved the way for his transition into the tech industry. He secured his first ecosystem role shortly thereafter, and immediately was able to contribute to the improved operational efficiency of his company.
My certification helped me land my first role, giving me the drive to learn even more about Salesforce. My career trajectory would not have been as steep as it has been, were it not for that goal to aim towards and path to learn.
