Negotiating pay when I have been out of work - any advice?

I have been out of work for 25 weeks and feel pressure to accept less. It has been a long 25 weeks. I do not want to price myself out. What did you say?

Asking about the range for the role first worked for me. Some recruiters share it.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
