Scrum master resume and interview help

A hiring manager reads a scrum master resume for team context first: how many teams, what product, how distributed. Then they look for change you helped cause: an impediment cleared, a habit the team changed, a flow measure with a starting point and a source. Velocity offered as an achievement, or a list of events you facilitated, says what the job was, not what you did.

Questions

What do hiring managers read for on a scrum master resume?

They read for team context first: how many teams, what product and how distributed. Then for flow measures such as cycle time or throughput with a starting point and a source, team health that was read and acted on, impediments escalated with an outcome, and coaching beyond the events. A list of ceremonies, or velocity offered as an achievement, tells them little.

Does the free review check a scrum master resume against scrum master rules?

Yes, when it reads your resume as a scrum master resume, which it decides from your job titles, headline and lines (scrum master, agile coach, release train engineer, a scrum credential). It then adds its scrum master checks to the ones every resume gets: velocity presented as an improvement, events listed with no effect on the team, and flow figures with no starting point. Those checks are a draft that working practitioners still review.

Does Reed know whether my resume is true?

No. Reed is an AI and cannot know whether a line is true. It quotes your lines back to you and asks where the record is: the board, the retrospective notes or the team's flow report. You decide what the answer is and what changes. Nothing is added to your resume that you did not confirm.
