“What are your salary expectations?” could be the most dreaded interview question ever.
Here’s how to handle it:
* Make sure you build up your skills and experience throughout the interview
* Show you know the going rate for your job
* Make a strong case for your asking price
* Provide a range -- and be open to negotiation

I always redirect the question back to the I interview person and ask, what is the budget your company has for this role?
If it’s not enough then simply say. I thank you for your time but I’m unavailable for your limited budget.
Or if it’s an amount your happy with than your reply will be, yes I can work with that amount.
Never ever give them an amount as an answer.
