Salary expectations: how do you answer?, teaching assistant here

I have been out of work for 16 weeks and feel pressure to accept less. It has been a long 16 weeks. I also do not want to sell myself short. How do you research fairly?

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

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