How Can I Get a Job With No References Whatsoever?

I'm stuck.

I need a job, preferably part time, and could really do with getting a job within the next few months, and preferably sooner rather than later.

But I really do have no references at all, whatsoever.  And I don't just mean from former employers.  I really do mean no references at all, whatsoever.  Whether it's character references, references from teachers, etc, references from upstanding members of the community, I really have no references.

I'm already looking into volunteering.  I'm already looking into returning to education.  I'm considering self-employment.  But, here, in this post, I'm asking specifically about how I might get a job when I really don't have any references.

Does anyone have any ideas or pointers, please?
