Grab a FREE Book!

Our latest eBook - "Agile Job Market: Are You Ready?" - is now available for FREE to all Agile job seekers, and the people hiring them.

COVID-19 note (Updated for early 2022):

This book was written and published in 2020 and before COVID-19 heavilly affected the job markets all over the World, making some of the information in this eBook somewhat outdated.

The key message we tried to summarise and deliver as part of this book remains unchanged though - as an Agile job seeker of 2022 you still have to deal with the ever-increasing professional competition, and need to be properly prepared for it.

Due to the changed working situation of the author and the founder of JoinAgile Initiative, there are no current plans to release an updated version of this book. Please subscribe to JoinAgile YouTube channel as the main communication channel with our audience, other than direct LinkedIn connections.

Finished reading the free eBook and want more information?
