Expect to get the job!!! Congratulations on your third interview! They'll probably discuss salary and possible training with you. The job offer is not definite, but I would say this is a very good thing!
Good luck!

On the third interview, you can expect to engage in serious negotiations of the details; salary, fringe benefits, working hours, vacation time, probationary period, etc. Many of these will be set by policy in a larger organization, but some are flexible. Most places will not bother with a third interview unless they are prepared to offer you the job. So come prepared to discuss salary, and to balance it off against these other factors mentioned. For example, if you have a wife (or husband) and kids, a benefits package that includes health care for them at nominal or no cost to you would matter more than it would for me, since I'm single. But I'm old enough that the retirement plan and the factors involving the stability of the job are more important to me.
Think about what you find least attractive about what you know of the job so far, and see if you can negotiate it away, or reduce it. For example, if the job involves travel, what expenses are covered? Do you get to take your wife along once in awhile? Do you get to keep the "frequent flier" points yourself? If the hours are a problem for you, is there any flexibility? I am limited to using the bus system, because I don't drive. Fifteen minutes slack to make a bus connection easier can matter a lot to me.

Let me start off by saying that making it to the third interview is a real pat on the back. You've made the first two cuts, which means you're ooh so close to landing that job.
What generally happens during third interviews is that you meet with people you may be working for and/or senior management. They want to be sure that you'll really fit in with the rest of the employees.
As far as questions go, they're pretty much the same as the other interviews, but are asked by different people. How to handle it? The same way you did with the others.

Should be icing on the cake, final sit down and an offer. You are definatly in the running, there may be another possible canadate you are being compared to.
Anyways, fell good about it, relax, be yourself and expect results, let them know you are the best for the job and you want it!
Good Luck!!
God Bless!

More specific job-related questions. Be prepared to answer questions about the actual job that you're being interviewed for.
AND, be prepared to negotiate a salary and terms of your contract, etc.
They will probably offer you the job today, so be ready to give them an answer, too.

It is quite possible that they will be offering you the job. It would be beneficial if you could have some questions of your own ready.
One question that I find works to your advantage is:
"If I were to ask any of your employees, why they like working here, what would be their answer?"
Good Luck

This should be a session making you a job offer.
