When someone asks for my availability and I am unemployed with 100% availability, how do I respond?

I am embarrassed and disheartened that this is my first WSO post ever, but here we are. As the post states, I am currently trying to secure a FT offer following my graduation this past month and have been struggling with how to respond to recruiters for calls and HR for interviews when they ask this. I don't want them to know that I literally have nothing on my schedule besides one-off informational calls that randomly trickle in, but then again I don't want to make up arbitrary time slots for the sake of sounding like I am busy. 

Maybe its not that big of a deal to say "I am free all day Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday...," but in my own head it sounds really unhelpful. Would appreciate any thoughts or advice!
