Why are you interested in this position?

What do you know about this company?
You should research the company well before applying to it. You must be prepared to discuss the industry, the company's relative size within that industry and show that you know who the major players and competitors are
What salary are you drawing?
The question is not difficult to answer – just be honest and give the figure. In all probability, your next employer may base your salary on this amount. However, the problem arises when you feel you are being underpaid in your current organization. You may feel tempted to lie, but do not give in, as checks can be easily made and you may be disqualified. In case you are getting additional perks, incentives or commissions, do not forget to mention them, as they are important while negotiating salary.
What is your expectation of Salary?
It is a sincere advice not to comment on salary from your side. Listen to what they are offering and say that you would get back to them. Normally too much of negotiation on table is not a healthy sign. You may hint out your liking or disliking through your consultant or sound out your wish after giving a thought. Do not ever say instant yes or no. Avoid the temptation to lose temper of give opinion. Be humble, calm and firm. If salary that the company offers is too deviating from your expectations then do not argue. Sometimes there is a widegap between 1st offer and final offer.
