One made to strive or wait for a job (8)

I believe the answer is:

servitor

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wait for a job' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'one made to strive or' is the wordplay.
'one made' is an anagram indicator.
'strive' anagrammed gives 'servit'.
'servit'+'or'='SERVITOR'

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
