Venue: Online using zoom call

Session Speaker: Pavel Dabrystki

At the start of my Agile career, it was tough to find an opening for the position of a Scrum Master in South Africa – Agile and Scrum was a new thing. When I was looking for a change in 2013, LinkedIn had three Scrum Master jobs and none for an Agile Coach. But when I search for Scrum Master jobs today, LinkedIn has a list of potential opportunities that spans over ten pages. At the same time, the job market is tougher today – the number of candidates on the market has increased significantly as well. The challenge for job seekers today is how to differentiate oneself from the rest of the crowd. For the past few years, I have been helping people find new opportunities, and companies find new candidates. Knowing the process from both sides, I would like to share the standard points you must have in your CV to land an interview. I will share the typical questions asked in a Scrum Master interview. And we will practice answering these questions in groups. Perhaps, this workshop is a small nudge that will help you land your next dream position. Join me to learn more!

Learning Outcome:
1) How to Improve Your CV
2) Understand the Skills companies are looking for
3) Prepare for the interviews
