Sorry to hear that., if it's the same as in Sweden, the waiting is a really easy way to get a job. Restaurant work overall is pretty easy to come by, but especially waiting, since you don't need any education, you can be taught on the spot how to at least carry three plates at one time. The rest is just to be assertive and friendly towards customer and voilá! You have yourself a job. If you haven't applied to any restaurants, I recommend you visit the local ones with at least a resumé or a personal letter. If you go with a letter, just start of with something like;
Hello!
My name is... and I'm... years old. I'm applying to your restaurant as a waitor (or any other position you could think of) because I've heard from friends and family that you are a great place, with a really nice premises and I want to help you make your customers as happy with their visit as possible! My assets are...
And so on, just try to sell yourself to the manager with your words.
Oh, and Good Luck!
