Being a waiter would be good! There's always plenty of those "minimum" wage-like jobs that you can do if you become desperate, like cashier or working for a fast-food place.
If you have had no current work experience your CV should probably be just one page. Avoid using phrases like "Great speaker", "Can take responsibility", "Good organizer", etc, because anyone can (and probably has) already got that on their CV. You want your CV to stand out, so think of anything that you've done that may demonstrate that you're a great speaker (perhaps you won a public speaking competition, or even just competing in one is cool), perhaps you had to organize something, etc. Don't worry if the achievement or job isn't related to your profession, because it still displays you are active and have done things.
The whole point of getting a job is to make yourself stand-out and do that any way you can, perhaps instead of mailing the CV to your occupation, give it to them in person, ring them up, be personal with them. Make sure they know your name and you'll be more likely to stand out from the other candidates.
When you look for a job, you can use websites and stuff to get find your job, but it might also be a good idea to go to local stores around your neighbourhood, if you have theaters, restaurants or shops a-like, just while shopping there maybe ask the owner or cashier if there are any job openings there that you could apply for. It's all about getting out there and actually doing stuff
