I'm 18, no gcses (I was home educated) or real job experience.

I have done cash in hand work at a relatives pub for a couple weeks but that's about it. No contract or anything.

But I am EAGER for a job. Right now I'm mostly applying to waitressing jobs -hoping for a hit.

This is just a stepping stone as I am looking to study and sit my gcses soon, but I'm wondering about how to actually get my first waitressing job?

What do I write on my CV or cover letter? I randomly sat my level 2 food and hygiene, if that would be of any benefit to my application.

I self referred to my local NHS talking therapy service, I was asked if I was ready for weekly appointments -to which I said no, the commitment to weekly appointments is too much right now. I asked what now? And was told to come back when I'm ready and "want" the help. . .

What do I do now? Is this standard???
