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

I do not know whether to give a range or ask for theirs. It has been a long 23 weeks. I do not want to price myself out. How do you research fairly?

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 3 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
