    Uhh the Wi-fi issue. Can soo relate. When I moved I found out I had moved to a no signal zone (phone or 4g) so sorting out a non-working internet plug was really fun

    I cant get over how much you look, sound and act like one of my years form tutors . He looks like you with your natural hair but he looks like a clone of you and i just really needed to say that .

    You know about 'A Suitable Boy'? Oh my goodness! I was just waiting for a new upload on your channel to suggest it cause I'd love it if you read some books from India. I haven't exactly read it (cause Rashi it's your board year which is kind of a big deal here) but like I know the story and the writing is said to be very good. I hope you like it. Reading it is a lifegoal for fifteen-year-old me anyway.

    Great video as always!
    Jack, I really really feel for you. I graduated with a master’s degree in social sciences and humanities in 2019 and was unemployed (working part time as a crossfit coach to get by) for a bit over a year and omg I related so much to this whole vlog! It is so damn hard to go through it all! (got a job at Specsavers HQ in Denmark now, so quite funny, that you quoted them in this vlog). Looking back, I regret not taking more time off after graduating. I was completely burned out and then hit by the massive stress that is the jobhunt!
    The pandemic hit and that was the first time I was actually forced to take a break, which Ironically was a lifesaver for me!
    Anyway, the constant rejections are so demoralizing and pressure to be productive is extreme. I realized that I don’t think I am anyone unless I work, which is super concerning...
    You will get through this, and whoever hires you will be extremely lucky to have you! Appreciate all the honesty!

    I love the bit when he makes eye contact with someone on the street with the chefs hat AGSKSHQK. Also I love how he went 'its idiot proof which is perfect for me!' *cuts to fire alarm going off*
