Meet a Former Dazeworks Intern – Suresh Rayi

I have always wanted to work on cloud technologies and had heard about Salesforce. The platform had a lot of innovation associated with it and also promised great career opportunities. I got to know from one of my friends about Dazeworks, applied for a role here and got selected. The Dazeworks team has a lot of experts on the platform including MVPs and their expertise is definitely something that I wanted to learn from. Also, Dazeworks is a niche provider of Salesforce consulting and this is the only technology being worked on here. This was what I liked the most since I was interested in learning more about the platform.

Since I was just starting my career here, my goals were very simple. I wanted to learn by working with the best of Salesforce.

My mentor was excellent. He has got so much knowledge in Salesforce which helped me learn from him. He is a great guy and our relationship remains good to the present time.

The Salesforce community has played a very important role. It has helped me clear any lingering doubts about the way forward – be it in my career or with the platform. The community has helped us learn from our mistakes. The regular developer and user group meetups organised by the Salesforce community are a great way to know about new releases and to meet new people. They have taught me how to communicate with new people and how to carry myself in the crowd.

Right from the day I joined Daazeworks, I have been training on Salesforce. My training ended after 3 months. From then, I started on smaller development and configuration tasks assigned by my mentor. This helped me learn what has to be done within the given time and how to manage the multiple tasks and work pressure. Later I was put on to a project with another team. Even there, my team lead was very helpful in giving me detailed client requirements. He also gave me suggestions me on the best solutions.It was great working and learning. Very soon I was ready to move on to a client-facing role on the team.

My most memorable time and a warm surprise was the trip to Munnar on Dazeworks’ second anniversary. It was a lot of fun and helped us meet the team from other locations too.

The work culture and friendly behavior of my colleagues and the expertise in Salesforce among the Dazeworks helped me make the choice.

I attend meetups and follow some community sites. I also get updates from the experienced members on the Dazeworks team.

Mentoring trainees on my own is great, it has helped me to learn things which I missed out previously. Mentoring gives me a chance to brush up on it. Since I have to teach and clear their doubts, I am learning along with them. Mentoring others has helped me to increase my confidence on my Salesforce knowledge to a great extent.

I am learning along with them and this helps improve leadership qualities.

Yes, I got my dream job where I can use my expertise and knowledge to get tasks done. I am always learning new things and developing myself.
