Thanks so much @karstenkoehler for all the great advice!
Those links will definitely help me in my journey! I’ve considered going in depth on some certifications, but wanted to take some of HubSpot’a courses to see where I feel most called.
Thanks again for all the great insight!

Hi, I would strong advise sharing articles on your Linkedin showing you are really interested in the subject. Share best practice and show that you are learning all the time. Employers want people who see the potential of digital for their businesses and you can provide a fresh pair of eyes - critique websites - share best practice social, point out brands that are really good at this and say why…
Thanks for the shoutout @karstenkoehler!
Hey @AlexisRiesberg I was in a similar position to you very recently. As Karsten said I wrote a blog going over my efforts but essentially my advice would be to use the Academy to get a base (focus on Software/Hub Certs and Inbound courses first) while you keep an eye on the Community. I found the Community very helpful in helping me learn/problem-solve for products I didn’t have access to (my first job only used Marketing Pro). As you contribute more you’ll to only gain expertise in other Hubs/areas but also start to be recognized around the community and build up a profile.
I leveraged my community profile as a sort of portfolio to showcase my thought process to employers. And of course, we have wonderful moderators that try to keep people involved.
More generally I’d google the “T Shaped Marketer” framework to help structure your development. It’s pretty intuitive but made a big difference for me.
Welcome and feel free to reach out if you need anything.
Hey @ConnorSlivensky
Thanks for the insight! I understand the importance of the Community and will for sure continue to use it.
I also searched for the “T Shaped Marketer” and those ideas are exactly where my mind was thinking on where I want to really focus. I’m still in the process of figuring out what ones I feel most called to but these courses on HubSpot Academy will help with that for sure!
Thanks again for the information!
