Always talk about what you can do not what you don’t know, there’s value in life experience

Hi Dylan. I think it's valuable to describe your skill set and experiences to potential employers even if you can't list specific companies that you've worked for. Be proactive and sell yourself and your skills rather than waiting for them to ask you. I hope this helps. Good luck!

If you can afford one, hire a Resume builder. If you can not afford one, generate a Resume with the skills, i.e. jobs that you have done. Ensure that you tell them that you are a "self starter", hard worker, and on time for work. Never be late, unless it is, absolutely, needed, i.e. sick or in the hospital. Then get a slip from you doctor to verify.

Hi Dylan. Treat your experience the same as if you worked for a company. At the top of your resume write a few sentences about your experience and skills. Under Work Experience choose a job title like Freelance Laborer and put the town and dates. Make bullet points. Communicated with home owners to ensure all landscaping projects met customer expectations. At the bottom list volunteer or athletic experience. Under education list high GPA or awards

Network! Try to find the job not yet advertised. Let all your friends and family know you're looking. By the time a job is advertised, there's 100's of applicants, so try to develop a way to hear about opportunities before they're advertised. If you get an interview, go, and if it turns out not to be a fit, ask if there may be another possibility in another department (or with a friend in another company) that might have a better fit. Always follow up with any help anyone gives, with a "thank you" card. Never burn bridges. Keep doors open.

There's plenty of free resume / CV resources on the Internet.

There are many books out there on resumes, check their ratings and look for a used one, "good" or better condition for low cost (I use Thriftbooks for a large selection and low cost with 1.00 shipping. Either list each job, or list each responsibility (several of same type of jobs), Emphasize how you determined the approach, managed the job, saw it through to successful completion. If it required some "project management" skills, emphasize that (milestones / tasks), budgets, working with / supervising others in a team environment. Hit key points, not detail, whet appetite, not serve the whole meal, make them want to talk to you. Learn something about the company, and the qualities for that type of job on the Internet, and focus your proven abilities to those types of needs.

I am bound and determined to complete anything I start

Be ready to learn new things slow down ask questions if needed always remember safety first if I don't know something ask if need be
