Offering a trial position wouldn't help you in negotiation and may reflect a lack of confidence/skills.

I can relate to the trouble that you are going through. I usually volunteer for onsite interview as that helps me present a version of me at work. I communicate like i would while i am in the job. This also helps you adjust yourself by looking at people and environment.

In case you want to put your best forward through work, try researching on company, build a small project around the space and publish in github. take feedback from friends or senior colleagues on this project.

Good luck with your search.

Having a poorly paid job is better than not having a job though... especially given the American healthcare system.
