How are new Certified Scrum Master's able to get true entry-level positions? I've been certified for more than a year and see that entry-level scrum positions require you to have 3-5 years of experience. I've been searching for externships with no luck. Does anyone know of try entry-level scrum roles or externships?

I used to be the hiring manager for Scrum Teams for a few different companies. Generally, if the job description says "1-3 years of experience required", go ahead an read that as "entry level, no experience needed". If it says "3-5 years of experience required," go ahead and read that as "1-3 years required."
Generally, just down grade the experience requirement in most regions. The regions I would NOT suggest re-interpreting the requirements: DC Metro, Boston, Denver, Silicon Valley. The industry I would suggest NOT re-interpreting the job description: Aerospace.
