Negotiating pay when I have been out of work

I do not know whether to give a range or ask for theirs. It has been weighing on me all week. I also do not want to sell myself short. Does giving a range hurt?

Check several sources for pay in Kansas City, then pick a range where the low end is one you can live with.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
