This guide shows you how to write an entry-level Salesforce Developer CV that highlights relevant experience and technical skills for the United Kingdom job market. You will get practical examples, formatting advice, and UK-specific phrases you can use to present projects, internships, and coursework in a way that helps hiring managers and recruiters see your fit for junior developer roles.
Building a Salesforce Developer resume?
Skip the blank page. Start with a template built for this role, then tailor it for each job you apply to.
Tip: use the template as a starting point, then swap in your own numbers and project names.
How to format an entry-level Salesforce Developer CV
Choose a clean, professional layout with clear section headings and consistent spacing so a recruiter can scan your CV quickly. Use a single font family, 10 to 12 point body text, and aim to keep your CV to one page if you have less than three years of experience.
In the UK, list your name and contact details at the top, followed by a concise Personal Profile, Technical Skills, Experience or Projects, and Education. Use bullet points under each role or project, and ensure each bullet starts with a strong action verb and mentions the outcome or impact where possible.
For UK roles, consider including your city and country, your right-to-work status, and links to your LinkedIn profile or portfolio.
Personal Profile for an entry-level Salesforce Developer CV
Write a 2-3 sentence UK-style Personal Profile that focuses on your Salesforce-relevant experience, certifications, and the types of problems you want to solve. Mention Salesforce modules you know such as Service Cloud or Sales Cloud and whether you have hands-on experience with Apex, Lightning, or Flow.
Tailor this section to each job by including keywords from the job posting and a concise statement of what you will bring to the team. Avoid generic claims and instead describe one or two concrete strengths, such as building custom objects or automating processes with Flow.
If you have a certification pending, note the expected completion date to demonstrate progress.
Work experience and project entries for entry-level Salesforce Developer CV
When you do not have full-time developer experience, treat internships, volunteering, capstone projects, and freelance gigs as professional experience. For each entry, list your role title, organisation, dates (in DD/MM/YYYY format), and 3 to 5 bullet points that follow the pattern: action, tool or feature, result or metric where available.
Focus on outcomes you influenced, for example reducing manual steps in a process, improving data quality, or accelerating record creation. If you cannot provide a numeric result, describe the concrete change you made, such as creating a Lightning record page or migrating data using Data Loader.
Include the location (city and country) for the organisation and ensure all dates are in UK format.
Projects to include on an entry-level Salesforce Developer CV
Select 3 to 5 Salesforce projects that show a range of skills across administration and development, including configuration, Apex development, Lightning components, automation with Flow, data migration, and integrations. For each project, provide a short title, the objective, your role, the Salesforce tools and any APIs used, the outcomes or metrics, and links to a live demo or repository.
Include screenshots or a brief walkthrough on your portfolio or GitHub. If applicable, mention collaboration with NHS teams or healthcare data considerations and be sure to reflect UK data protection and governance standards.
Include evidence such as project briefs, test results, or user stories linked in your CV or portfolio.
Additional Tips
- 1Host small Salesforce projects in a Developer Edition org and link to a short walkthrough or screenshots on GitHub or a portfolio site.
- 2Prepare a 60- to 90-second walkthrough of each project so you can discuss them clearly in interviews and panel interviews in the UK.
- 3If you are studying for a Salesforce certification, state the expected completion date to show progress and commitment.
