They asked my salary range, what should I say?

A recruiter asked for my salary expectations on a first call as I look for work as a retail manager. It has been a long 16 weeks. I also do not want to sell myself short. What did you say?

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

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