I'm 19 and looking for my first job but I have no idea how to get one with having prior work experience. I have nothing to put on a resume or cover letter cause I've been sitting on my ass up, playing videogames all day everyday since high-school. Now that I matured a bit and getting ready to go to college again, (dropped out of Uni before) I need money. So what sort of jobs should I look for? How to make a decent resume with absolutely nothing to put on it? Should I lie or something? What could I say to explain my years of not working/volunteering to make it look like I wasn't lazy/unambitious? (Even if it's true.) I can't stand being broke anymore.
Say you were helping family or traveling before starting school or something like that. Since you'll be looking at entry level jobs, it shouldn't be a problem. Just clean up, dress nice, smile and be polite. Put your best foot forward.
