Well, you could ask the people you know in the financial industry what question they would ask (if they are experienced) or what questions interviewers asked them (if they are new).
On thing, there are lots of layoffs in the industry right now, and this should continue for the next year, which means that there is more competition for fewer jobs. At the same time, if you know your stuff, there will be a job for you.
Also, hopefully you have studied or are studying the right courses. Derivatives trading is very math intensive. A finance degree is a minimum for that, but in reality I know at least two physics PhDs in the finance industry.
