Think you need an IT background to become a Scrum Master? Think again. 72.6% of current Scrum Masters successfully transitioned from completely different careers (teachers, project coordinators, healthcare workers, and more)
In this lecture, I break down the exact certification decision you need to make (PSM I at $150 vs CSM at $1,000+), reveal the five proven pathways that real people used to land roles paying $79,000-$155,000, and expose the truth about what it actually takes to break the “need experience to get experience” paradox.
This isn’t theory, but tested strategies from individuals who transitioned from zero Scrum experience to being hired within 6-12 months.
Lecture 1: The Real Path to Your First Scrum Master Role
Lecture 2: Making Yourself Irresistible to Recruiters (Even Without Experience)
Right now, recruiters are searching LinkedIn for Scrum Masters in your city, and they can’t find you.
Your profile is optimized for your OLD career, not your new one.
In this lecture, I give you the exact LinkedIn formula that got one of my students from zero interviews to two job offers in six weeks, show you how to overcome the three biggest mental obstacles that stop 80% of career changers (experience paradox, non-technical background fear, and imposter syndrome), and reveal why 45% of Scrum Master opportunities come from networking, not job applications.
Plus, you’ll get word-for-word templates for connecting with Scrum Masters, answering interview questions without direct experience, and reframing your past roles using language that recruiters actually search for.
Lecture 3 is coming tomorrow…
