How do I become a CRM Dynamics developer?

To answer the question of “How do I become a CRM Dynamics developer?” you may want to consider gaining knowledge of Microsoft Dynamics software. Employers often prefer applicants with skills in specific areas they work in. Having professional certifications, such as  Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA), Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer (MCSD), Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE), can further enhance your credibility as a Dynamics CRM developer. Eeven if these specific ones MCSA, MCSD, MCSE are retired as of January 31, 2021 – if you happen to have one of these, it may still be very helpful to  make sure to mention any of these on your resume.

Note that even if the certifications are retired, that means nobody else may get it any more, retired does not mean that the certification you have. If you have that one, its still valid – your certification is still valid, and it may be even more so helpful to mention it.

Since the certification retired in 2021, and now it’s 2023, mentioning these retired certifications may actually demonstrate that you have had many years of experience in Dynamics CRM prior to 2023 and even prior to 2021. Since nobody else can get these certifications after 2021, it may also demonstrate that you are in a specific group of people that have experience in Dynamics CRM prior to 2021, which may be helpful in establishing that you have a longer track record of relevant experience with Dynamics 365 / CRM.

In addition, especially if you have a MCSA, MCSD, or MCSE, it may be even stronger to combine the power of these certifications with the newer Microsoft certifications. This can be a powerful way to demonstrate your commitment to staying updated on the latest versions of Dynamics 365 / CRM, which has seen some significant changes since 2021 you may want to stay keen on actually, and to demonstrate that your experience remains not only strong, but also updated, recent, and current / ongoing as well.
