Take a real look at your work history. It's ok if you didn't graduate high school, as long as you have a GED or High School Diploma, step one is complete. Another thing I have noticed, a lot of jobs are only requiring a year of work in a related field. Is there ANY position or activity that counts towards the position that you're wanting? Take advantage of your life experiences and add that to your resume. It should be no longer than a page and having it typed up with all your different jobs stored digitally makes for a quick copy and paste in most applications these days.

Lastly, there is always room to negotiate so if you have your heart set on a number and they present you with something lower. There is absolutely no shame in you making a counteroffer. If they want you they will play the game and when it comes to how much you get paid. It's not personal. You have to ask for what you know you are worth or they will lowball you every time.

Now that that's out of the way. Let's talk availability
