3. Write down "will discuss"
A good strategy is to say you'll work for dog buscuits and then negotiate up from there.

Wait, that's terrible advice. "Will discuss" is the standard I 'unno answer. Then, late in the interview ask them "How much does this position start at?"

Then, later, when they say "Yeah, right. If you don't like it lady, why don'tcha go get a job at the local steel plant? Oh, wait, those jobs have all moved to Indonesia! Ha-ha!" and start to laugh at you, then you start negotiating for more dog buscuits per week.

No, wait, that's terrible advice too. Why the hell do you ask me these things?
