    If you meet every criteria on the job description and have experience remind them of this and just ask for what you want. If they want you then they can pay to get you. Generally wage negotiations happen when they offer the position though so just sell yourself and try to be confident. Best of luck

    Tell them you are happy at your present job, but because of the structure it will be a long time before you can progress further as you have to wait for the person above you to die. Well don't put it exactly like that but say the person above you is very happy and has no plans to move on so you are trapped.

    When it comes to negotiating your wage make it clear you would not be willing to change jobs unless it was step up for you, more money and better promotion prospects.

    Just remember that they may have interviewed other people who could do the job just as well as you and they are willing to work for less than you ask for.

    Pick a figure you would be happy with then add a couple of grand and ask for that.

    They will want to know what you are expecting as a wage before telling you what they want to pay you, so watch their reaction. If it doesn't look good add that you would be willing to negotiate as the company does seem to have better prospects than the one you work for at present.
