ALWAYS think in terms of getting references, PERIOD.
Even if you totally f up a job, as long as you have good references from a employer(s) that you pleased at one point, you're home clear.
References, references, references is like saying "location, location, location" in real estate.
Even if you work for 18yrs at a job, if you leave without references, you're f'd.
REFERENCES are the Holy Grail of employment.

Make a simple & honest resume, put it in the job websites, focus on your good skills, stay calm at the interview, be direct and ask your doubts in the same moment of it.
