The SM Job Search Playbook

A practical, 5-day system built for Scrum Masters actively job hunting — not another generic career guide, but real templates and scripts pulled from an actual remote Scrum Master search.

Inside the toolkit:

Day 1 — Recruiter Outreach Templates: Cold outreach, warm replies, referral asks, and seniority-calibrated messaging that gets responses instead of getting ignored

Day 2 — The JD Red-Flag Checklist: Spot mis-scoped roles and below-market offers before you waste weeks interviewing for the wrong job

Day 3 — Compensation Negotiation Scripts: Exactly what to say when asked your expected salary, how to counter a low offer, and how to negotiate beyond base pay

Day 4 — Interview Answer Frameworks: STAR-based structures for the scenario questions every Scrum Master gets asked, plus a worked example answer and common mistakes to avoid

Day 5 — The Follow-Up Sequence: A non-needy follow-up cadence so you stay visible without chasing, plus an application tracker template

Bonus — 10-Minute LinkedIn Profile Audit: A quick checklist to make sure recruiters actually find you

Who it's for: Scrum Masters at any level — associate to senior — actively applying for roles and tired of guessing what to send, say, or ask for.
