I get questions about the Scrum Master interviews all the time as it’s never clear how to prepare, especially, if you are generally new to the role. Yes, you may have the right knowledge and skills, but are you ready to answer some tough questions that you most likely will be asked during the interview? Watch the video to find out how you can get ready for a Scrum Master interview and pass it with confidence.
In this video I talked about:
✅ What general skills, knowledge and traits we are looking for in Scrum Masters during the interview
✅ What are the five questions that I like to ask during the interview
✅ What we are looking for when asking those questions
and more!

“People who succeed have momentum. The more they succeed, the more they want to succeed, and the more they find a way to succeed. Similarly, when someone is failing, the tendency is to get on a downward spiral that can even become a self_fulfilling prophecy.” _Tony Robbins
I wish there was an easy way, but as with any professional transition, you need some time, effort, and a little bit of luck.
I would say to start actively participating in Agile and Scrum communities, connect with Agile Coaches and Scrum Masters directly to see if their organizations are hiring. And, of course, make your resume aligned with the role as much as possible based on your past experiences (even if they are not in Scrum, I’m sure you have some good transferable skills) and start applying.

Hello good day, do you assist with resume and cover letter for a scrum master position?
