How can I get an entry-level job? I was forced to move away from where I grew up and just graduated high school with one quarter left til I have my AA. I need any real job that I can get consistent work with. Problem is that since I just moved I have no connections at all. I have worked in the past but nothing that I can write down on a resume because it wasn't contracted or legally-binding (lumberjack, landscaper, mover, painter).
I pretty much have no references and I have no evidence that I'm a fantastic worker. I don't mind working shit jobs, I just can't seem to land one. Advice?

Who do you think is going to stop you? You worked, write it down.

There's no way to confirm that I ever worked there. I worked as a lumberjack and landscaper for my friend's dad who WAS licensed and did a lot of work consistently when I was 14-16, but he never had a real company that I could write I worked for. Same story for the other 2. I'm unsure what to even write? Freelance Landscaping? That makes me sound like I mowed lawns. No employer is gonna really take that seriously.

I live in Washington state. They offer a program called Running Start. Let's you attend college and high school at the same time.

google a template for a skills based resume, and consider applying somewhere far from where your skills are valuable.
Or just finish community college and live off of loans.

Apply in person.
Send thank you notes to people who interview you.
