I found this book helpful in describing how to transition into a Scrum Master role. The interview section was lacking. He spent quite a bit of time explaining generic interview questions ie "Tell me about yourself" "what are your strengths/weaknesses". I was expecting this chapter on interview questions to be more geared toward SM specific questions. He did list multiple behavioral questions, but didn't give examples or explain good answers. Overall it was short, but very informative .
