How can I do to land my first scrum master job?


Hi, I've been looking to land my first job as Junior Scrum Master (is a Junior Master an oxymoron?) but I have been unlucky on my search. I'm exposed to the day to day meetings from a dev perspective as my partner is a dev. I did study Scrum master and then got a certification from scrum.org and they study and then pass without reading the test for SAFE dev (partner had to do it so I use the practice test as gauge bar), then pay for the SAFE scrum master course and pass the test again without reading. I've been searching for a position using job boards like indeed, dice, and applying via staffing agencies for months (around 5) with no luck, not even a single email for a follow up interview.

As background I have a bachelor degree on psychology, and a master in logistics. I migrated to USA so I have a job gap of 2 years, and before that on my country I did also have a gap of around 8 months after a layoff from a very big telco, I used to work in the logistics department.

How can I do to land my first scrum master job? Any recommendations? Email on my profile. *edit: wording, add email info
