Transitioning into Agile Project Management and Digital Delivery professional space became a prominent trend across industries over the past 5 years. The competitive job market is becoming saturated with candidates who do not fully understand how modern recruitment for Agile roles works, at least in Australia.
They present their professional Resumes filled with mixed messages, absurd qualifications, using language that only sends their job application straight into the bin, missing out on opportunities that otherwise should be within their reach.
Lack of this specific knowledge is reducing your chances of getting hired as a Scrum Master, or for any other job within the Agile Delivery space.
