Just to clarify, the resume advice I give here is for kids who have 0 work experience. As you get older and start pursuing better, more specialized opportunities, your resume needs to become more focused on why you're a perfect fit for *that* specific job.
None of this even applies to me but just that “good luck my friend, you’re gonna do fine” hit me so hard I almost cried. Thanks funny mic man I really needed that
i’ve been feeling really down and honestly scared the past few days, and even if this video isn’t about stuff i’m worrying about, just hearing your voice and giving other people advice is making me feel much better. i know you probably won’t see this but thank you so much for everything you’ve helped me with.
Anyone else actually really like the “you’re gonna be fine” at the end of a lot of his shit. It’s something that, at least me personally, really needs to be heard. As someone who deals its anxiety and stuff, just a simple, not it’s gonna be okay, but you’re gonna do fine is so helpful. I don’t exactly know the difference but whatever it may be, I like it.
maybe because "it's gonna be okay" is just referring to something that noone has real control over and that you just have to sit and hope it turns out well, but "you're gonna do fine" is more referring to you, yourself. saying that you will do a just fine job.
I find it useful to use one of those worry flowcharts, it's something along the lines of "if you can do something about a problem, why worry? If you can't do something about a problem, why worry?" Idk if this will help you but I just thought I'd share anyway.
It was so weird when schlatt talked about his desk cause i disconnect theweeklyslap from jschlatt so much i actually considered them seperate people for a minute
Learning How To Network Or Should I Say Connections will land you more jobs than the degree alone. If you have a friend or Family whom works in a certain government/company, you don't even need a formal Interview to have a job. So yeahhh Thats The True Fact Bros Compared to Just Following the Process And Qualifications which will get you only 10% probability unless you are famous with your portfolio you will have a slim chance of getting that job.
Everyone's talking mad shit about Schlatt always talking about his job at the deli. Personally, as a useless lil highschooler who's trying to get a start in the world, I find those bits very helpful. Thanks, Schlatt, the anecdotes are very much so appreciated.
I live in the south of Spain and this is just not the case here, i search often for a job but am not able to get any. Gonna move back to london as i looked online and there's so many jobs i could get there.
The fact that you made a resume and made the effort to give it to someone speaks a lot more than what's on the resume, by the way. Schlatt is right: the point is to show that you're ready to show up and put in the effort. When you go up to a potential employer, you showed up. When you hand in your resume, you're putting in the effort. (Talking about first jobs of course, that won't work for an engineering or CEO position)
Hi schlatt. I just remembered my repressed memories due to childhood trauma a few days ago and I was in a really bad place ngl. It made me feel worse than I did before I remembered. Thank you for all your videos schlatt, I really appreciate it.
pro tip, find out where rich people live, find the old and decrepit among them then narrow it down to old people who have dogs, then walk old peoples dogs for them. it is not enough to make a living but it is something. :)
I feel so useless, I feel I am a good for nothing loser who can't accomplish anything or be good at anything other than being a unmotivated loser. I'm not good in academicians, I not good at any sports, and I not good at keeping a friendship. Anytime I try to pick myself up and try to improve myself I end up falling flat on my face. I study hard for a test but still fail, I try to make myself a better person and I still fail. I just feel like I'm a good for nothing loser who is not good at anything in life and I wouldn't be lying if sometimes I just wish I just wasn't Sorry if my grammar was bad, but I really hope you can help me because I really need your advice :(
Maybe I'm not who you want to respond, but I suggest you try reconsidering what you're capable of. It can be easy for one to have an unrealistically negative view of themselves to where they don't see any value in anything that they do, when in fact there is value. The fact you're trying to do anything at all is a sign that you have some level of motivation. It's really not always about how much motivation or inspiration you have but the reasons and things that make you have any to begin with. I would also highly recommend, which this is possibly the hardest part, is to ask people for help when you can. It can make you feel bad, feel embarrassed, any number of things. But you should make a healthy relationship with allowing yourself to ask when you aren't sure about something, especially with school. It will make you feel better to have the answer and make you a better person too, especially at what you do. Could ask the people next to you when you sit, could ask the teacher when they're explaining something, could talk to them privately. I know I would often ask them questions when I turned in papers so it blended in with people talking instead of a silent room. Maybe you could do something similar. With sports, you don't have to be good at them. But you can learn how to be better at them. It's a good time to get things off your mind if you do. And too, not every sport is for everyone. Don't force yourself or let other people force you to play something you're not interested in.
Hey man, even though it might be hard to accept, listen to the person above me. Everyone is good at something. You are unique and special and in the end that’s what matters. And there is no limit to how much you can improve with practice. It might take some time before you see the results you want but just remember to patient and resilient. You can do anything
as a highschooler born and raised in new york city i can confirm that having a picture of the subway map saved on my phone has saved me from getting lost/being late hundreds of times by now. And in addition to what schlatt said about not eating out every night, when you DO go out try not to fall into the trap of only going to the big chains that you know from jersey. make friends with some of the locals at your college and find out what the really good small businesses are. in nyc we're super lucky to have so much diverse and delicious (and affordable if you know where to look) food, and its something you want to experience while you're here. also if a subway car is completely empty, its usually for a reason. try to stick to the more well populated cars.
I started my first job recently (14y), and a lot of the advice he gave works. I got mine through a family friend who needed some help at his restaurant. I showed that I was reliable and would work hard, now I have an after school job once school starts up. Thank you Schlatt.
Thank god this video came out i'm preparing to look for a job in 2 months once i am sixteen and this has given me some good advice hopefully in 3 months i can start earning that Schlatt Coin
Even if I couldn't relate to both of the questions today because of our situation right now, these are really good advices to keep in mind in the future if I ever get to move out and get a part time job. Thanks Schlatt!
Thanks for everything you do to provide content for me and a whole lot of other people. It means a lot, the effort that you put in. I hope you're doing well, and anyone reading this is also doing well. Have a great day Fellas and also non Fellas.
Back when I was looking for a job two years ago, I was only 15 and it was hard to find places that were hiring let alone 15 year olds. I not only applied to an actual dozen or so places but made sure call/come in on a weekly basis about my application. That persistence of coming in every week is what made my boss hire me at Dairy Queen (which is where I’m writing out this comment on my break). So my main piece of advice for anyone looking for a job whose around 15-17 is persistence. Sure an application helps but persistence helps make you stand out compared to everyone else who just turned in their application and left it at that. Or you could be my coworker who applied as a joke and got hired a year later or my friend who I put in a good word for and skipped the whole process of applying for a shit ton of jobs lol
I’ve been feeling down all week, only to realize that today you were uploading :) I’ve been struggling with a lot personally, and I don’t think I could put it into words as well as these people do, but even the advice you give to them always helps indirectly. This channel really shows how much you care, and I really appreciate all the content that you put out.
i've been measuring how fast/slow my weeks have been just by these videos and i can't believe it's already sunday again. every time a weekly slap video comes up in my subscriptions i'm like shiiiiiiiii another week went by and this summer is practically over by now
that can crusher lady bit made me laugh because it reminds me of my grandmother who would always give us her club soda cans while me and my brother would fight to use her crusher in the garage lmao. Funny thing is we never even got anything in return, we just liked doing it. great video today schlatt!
Sometimes I wish I spent time working at a Deli! I love hearing so many students looking for work. Don't stress too much about finding the perfect job in High School! In other words: Job in High School - Should be anything for the sake of experience. Learn how to stick to a schedule and follow through. Job in College (or post high school) - Try to find something that aligns with what you want to do in the future (supposing you know what that is). I highly recommend becoming a tutor in whatever you are studying if you can find the work. If you do not go to college, I highly recommend picking up a skilled labor position (welding, AC technician, electrician, etc...). These jobs pay extremely well and will be in demand as people look over them and dive straight into college. First Job After College (after apprenticeship) - You may have to apply a lot, you may have some trouble, and unfortunately, you may not end up doing the most exciting work. Whatever the job is, know when enough is enough so that you can mentally move on at the appropriate time. There are plenty of videos about jobs online!!! More importantly, once money starts coming in at any level, learn how to handle your finances. You want to be able to answer: - In what ways can I make my money work for me? - Are the decisions I am making moving my retirement age towards or away from my current age? - I like lists of three... Take care yall!
starting my first day of high school tomorrow, and it’s almost midnight. the “good luck my friend, you’re gonna do fine” is what i needed, thanks schlatt!
I've asked my parents so many times to help me get a job ever since I was 14 (I'm 17 now). I need their help because I genuinely don't know anyone to ask. I still don't. I am not very social and I really sucks because I really want some bit of income. I'm not very skillful in anything in particular so I cant really ask a specific company. Noone in shops is looking for people due to Covid and budget cuts. It really upsets me when I get called lazy and useless when I cant find a job for myself. It is normal in my country to not have a job till you're like 18-20. But I've just always wanted to put my effort into the society and I contantly feel like an utter failure. I cry a lot about it ngl. Thanks schlatt for the advice you give. It may not help me and my fears but it will most definitely help others.
@@mostunique5941 I already have a CV. We do them in school here. I've tried sending some off to a few different places but never got replies back and that was both post and pre Covid. So I'm unsure what I'm doing wrong. I've checked it over and over for errors or something but I just never get replies back.
Emily G. Well I guess you’ve just gotta wait/ keep on trying to see what works. One day you’ll get accepted and it’ll be great but until then keep working at ir
Tbh I think you should find the things you may be good at and turn them into hobbies. In high school the clubs can be great to find friends that you can relate to and al together you can help each other find jobs. Start small and work your way up with some skills.
Hi Schlatt! You have helped me feel better when nothing else could. You have brought to me laughter like none other. Yesterday, I felt inspired by this series; I plan on starting a channel based on this idea. I want to help people get through this quarantine too. I wanna thank you for inspiring me. Soon I’ll create an email dedicated to this and a new channel. Thank you so much!
If anyone is about to do a job interview heres an amazing quote for your closing line, or when they ask you what you bring to the table "Every company (or workplace) needs great employees, and i fit that criteria"
Hey, got some stuff to add, or at least to compound what Schlatt said. Also, I'm fairly certain I've mentioned part of this in a previous comment but, dammit, if Schlatt can repeat himself about previous jobs of his then so can I. So, I'm a high school senior, right? That's basically the ideal time to start working up a bit of cash to afford college. Now, I didn't actually get a job until the ripe, ripe age of 16. I had been applying to the same place for nearly two years (the only place in town that took employees that young), but I was so half-assed-- and clearly doing it because my parents had told me to-- that no one in their right mind would ever hire me. What actually motivated me to get my first job was my parents threatening to take my car away if I didn't get it by the end of the year. Within a month, I had kicked into high gear and gotten employed by this service called Aftercare. Essentially, I'd pop by every day after school for a few hours to look after kids and make sure they didn't tear each other's limbs off or something. Let me tell you, it was brutal, and I would never wish those kids on my worst enemies. But I regret not a second of it. I got experience, I got references from my employers, and I learned work ethic. That same year, I got a job with my brother-in-law at his liquidation company for slightly higher pay, so I started juggling that alongside my school, other job, and college. Now, obviously COVID-19 has taken away the former of my jobs, at least temporarily. I still do some liquidation work, and even though it's not nearly enough I still take what I can. As I go forward for my new jobs, though, I can assure you that what attracts those employers is persistence and confidence. Sure, it's good to have references and a good resume; do that, for sure, it's pretty essential. But you have to keep pestering them until they take a look at that application, no matter how obnoxious it is. Present yourself with dignity and with unabashed self-confidence, even if it feels unearned. That applies to more than just jobs. That applies to life in general. Go forth like you are a man/woman about town with doors opening on every side, in a professional manner.
Hey schlatt I just bought a new desk from an antique shop and I’m much happier because it was made in my home state instead of child workers in China. It’s a nice piece I would recommend looking in antique stores for a good cheap desk.
you own two businesses, i'm sure you could hook him up with something edit: thank you for the advice with the second question, i know i'm not the one who asked it but i could definately take some pointers from it
Feel like I should tell people. So since I was 16 I’ve been looking for a job for two years and its been absolute pain tryna find one without even getting interviews or anything. Then this video came out and I followed whats been told to do. BOOM, interview easy as that. Then iterated my point that I want to work during said interview. BOOM, phonecall on the same day. Obviously in a case for me with it happening so quick might have been luck but you can’t deny the results so if anyones in the same position this videos absolutely fantastic.
Finding a job while still being young is right up my base! A couple of days ago I started working at a friends house with the yard and gardens. They are are around 50 years old and they are a great friend of my dad so my family hangs out with them a lot. Even though the pay is 5 dollars an hour, I stay very positive. I learn how to meddle with very tough weeds and get closer to insects I used to tremble at. I get a good workout raking grass or sitting and grabbing piles a rocks dug into the dirt. I know the pay is half the minimal wage, but I feel like I am helping out more in a way and learning things I can use at life. My first job got me to wake up early and get a nice breakfast, and I am excited for next time when I start to learn the ropes of painting the porch. The guy is getting older and going to the doctor more so it is perfect for me to get plenty of work till I can get a legitimate job.
As someone who is in the same situation as the second commenter, this was really helpful. Applying to chains like McDonalds and Walmart has often just gotten me brushed off their shoulder; after all, I'm technically not old enough to work. I gotta start looking around if I wanna find a real job. Thanks.
using your own life experiences to help out other people is probably the best thing you can do on a social platform, and i'm glad schlatt figured that out. his advice, even when it's not relevant to me, helps for the future or even with a problem i didn't know i had. so thankful for this dude
Woah I didn't know this would update right now. Just wanted to say that I moved into my freshman dorm today Schlatt and I am all alone quarantined in a dorm building until my test comes back. I was just feeling really alone and sad being away from home but getting a weekly slap update has automatically put me in a better mood, especially since one of the question relates a bit to me. Thanks for all the content and I really love what you do! Have a great day Schlatt :)
"your aura dictates how people treat you" is one of the best pieces of advice for life in general. I've always had self confidence issues and am always second guessing myself. I watch a lot of movies and the people in suits always carry such a loud presence wherever they go. So I decided to invest in a suit and start to imitate the actions the characters do. Fake it till you make it right? I feel a lot more confident just by standing taller and making myself the most presentable that I can be. It really goes to show the power of your own self image, anyway. A great piece of advice as as soon as I started treating myself better, other people followed suit and treated me better too
Ive been in alot of fights with my parents recently and schlatts videos help me get through the rest of my day so thank you schlatt your keeping me alive
It’s just so relaxing to listen to schlatt just talk about stuff for like 5-10 minutes that’s interesting. Schlatt you should definitely make another investing video
I love you Schlatt but that CV advice was absolutely terrible. Your resume should highlight the things you're good at (or would like to pretend to be good at). By adding unnecessary/irrelevant things like hobbies you overshadow the qualities that make you special. It's clear you're a full time RUclipsr (sorry not sorry xoxo)
The CV advice was for a 14 year who’s looking for his first job. Obviously as you get some more experience down the road you want to tailor your resume better - sorry if I didn’t make that clear
I found out about this channel not so long ago. It's so strange to hear Schlatt calmly speaking and giving helpful advices to his viewers... and I love it! It's great to see him doing something that differs from his more popular content.
Just to clarify, the resume advice I give here is for kids who have 0 work experience. As you get older and start pursuing better, more specialized opportunities, your resume needs to become more focused on why you're a perfect fit for *that* specific job.
Just wanna say I love the content and your advice has actually helped me a lot. Thank you, Schlatt, and please keep the content coming! :)

I feel so useless, I feel I am a good for nothing loser who can't accomplish anything or be good at anything other than being a unmotivated loser. I'm not good in academicians, I not good at any sports, and I not good at keeping a friendship. Anytime I try to pick myself up and try to improve myself I end up falling flat on my face. I study hard for a test but still fail, I try to make myself a better person and I still fail. I just feel like I'm a good for nothing loser who is not good at anything in life and I wouldn't be lying if sometimes I just wish I just wasn't
Sorry if my grammar was bad, but I really hope you can help me because I really need your advice :(
Maybe I'm not who you want to respond, but I suggest you try reconsidering what you're capable of. It can be easy for one to have an unrealistically negative view of themselves to where they don't see any value in anything that they do, when in fact there is value. The fact you're trying to do anything at all is a sign that you have some level of motivation.
It's really not always about how much motivation or inspiration you have but the reasons and things that make you have any to begin with. I would also highly recommend, which this is possibly the hardest part, is to ask people for help when you can. It can make you feel bad, feel embarrassed, any number of things. But you should make a healthy relationship with allowing yourself to ask when you aren't sure about something, especially with school.
It will make you feel better to have the answer and make you a better person too, especially at what you do. Could ask the people next to you when you sit, could ask the teacher when they're explaining something, could talk to them privately. I know I would often ask them questions when I turned in papers so it blended in with people talking instead of a silent room. Maybe you could do something similar.
With sports, you don't have to be good at them. But you can learn how to be better at them. It's a good time to get things off your mind if you do. And too, not every sport is for everyone. Don't force yourself or let other people force you to play something you're not interested in.
Hey man, even though it might be hard to accept, listen to the person above me. Everyone is good at something. You are unique and special and in the end that’s what matters. And there is no limit to how much you can improve with practice. It might take some time before you see the results you want but just remember to patient and resilient. You can do anything
as a highschooler born and raised in new york city i can confirm that having a picture of the subway map saved on my phone has saved me from getting lost/being late hundreds of times by now.

I started my first job recently (14y), and a lot of the advice he gave works. I got mine through a family friend who needed some help at his restaurant. I showed that I was reliable and would work hard, now I have an after school job once school starts up. Thank you Schlatt.
i wasnt listening for the first 20 seconds and then i hear "they have no legs."
J “I worked at a Deli” Schlatt
Thank god this video came out i'm preparing to look for a job in 2 months once i am sixteen and this has given me some good advice hopefully in 3 months i can start earning that Schlatt Coin
Even if I couldn't relate to both of the questions today because of our situation right now, these are really good advices to keep in mind in the future if I ever get to move out and get a part time job. Thanks Schlatt!
I am absolutely begging you to remove that kpop picture from your profile
*"I feel like I'm going to get the BUBONIC PLAGUE AND DIE. anyway,"*
Fan: needs advice
Schlatt: I once worked at a deli once...
Ah man, some of the themes of these videos are so relatable. Just shows us that we're all human.
Thanks for everything you do to provide content for me and a whole lot of other people. It means a lot, the effort that you put in. I hope you're doing well, and anyone reading this is also doing well. Have a great day Fellas and also non Fellas.
Back when I was looking for a job two years ago, I was only 15 and it was hard to find places that were hiring let alone 15 year olds. I not only applied to an actual dozen or so places but made sure call/come in on a weekly basis about my application. That persistence of coming in every week is what made my boss hire me at Dairy Queen (which is where I’m writing out this comment on my break). So my main piece of advice for anyone looking for a job whose around 15-17 is persistence. Sure an application helps but persistence helps make you stand out compared to everyone else who just turned in their application and left it at that.
Or you could be my coworker who applied as a joke and got hired a year later or my friend who I put in a good word for and skipped the whole process of applying for a shit ton of jobs lol
“My desk was made out of cardboard and broke”
I wonder how that happened
I’ve been feeling down all week, only to realize that today you were uploading :) I’ve been struggling with a lot personally, and I don’t think I could put it into words as well as these people do, but even the advice you give to them always helps indirectly. This channel really shows how much you care, and I really appreciate all the content that you put out.
i've been measuring how fast/slow my weeks have been just by these videos and i can't believe it's already sunday again. every time a weekly slap video comes up in my subscriptions i'm like shiiiiiiiii another week went by and this summer is practically over by now
As a 14 year old myself, the second question really helped me out, thanks schlatt
that can crusher lady bit made me laugh because it reminds me of my grandmother who would always give us her club soda cans while me and my brother would fight to use her crusher in the garage lmao. Funny thing is we never even got anything in return, we just liked doing it. great video today schlatt!
The fact that you think we get annoyed by deli stories is what annoys me
Deli stores are amazing, hate my area for there lack of them.
Sometimes I wish I spent time working at a Deli! I love hearing so many students looking for work. Don't stress too much about finding the perfect job in High School!
In other words:
Job in High School - Should be anything for the sake of experience. Learn how to stick to a schedule and follow through.
Job in College (or post high school) - Try to find something that aligns with what you want to do in the future (supposing you know what that is). I highly recommend becoming a tutor in whatever you are studying if you can find the work. If you do not go to college, I highly recommend picking up a skilled labor position (welding, AC technician, electrician, etc...). These jobs pay extremely well and will be in demand as people look over them and dive straight into college.
First Job After College (after apprenticeship) - You may have to apply a lot, you may have some trouble, and unfortunately, you may not end up doing the most exciting work. Whatever the job is, know when enough is enough so that you can mentally move on at the appropriate time.
There are plenty of videos about jobs online!!!
More importantly, once money starts coming in at any level, learn how to handle your finances. You want to be able to answer:
- In what ways can I make my money work for me?
- Are the decisions I am making moving my retirement age towards or away from my current age?
- I like lists of three...
Take care yall!
i literally watch every episode i love these
starting my first day of high school tomorrow, and it’s almost midnight. the “good luck my friend, you’re gonna do fine” is what i needed, thanks schlatt!
good luck! i start a week from tomorrow :)
spice god good luck to you too! wish you the best :)
You always seem to upload these when I need them most. Thanks for the free therapy.
This genuinely genuinely helps on the job part. My friend needs this too! Thank you so much schlatt!
"ill see you next week" so far nothing and its 7:35 PM
Yea im waiting too. 1 am.
every time i feel like they get more and more specific to me, thanks schlatt
why is everything in america made of cardboard
Typing this reply on my cardboard bed
It's cheap and easy to mass produce
Wait, it's all cardboard?
@@T4thDoH ...always has been.
I like how light hearted and easy schlatt can make the situation
I've asked my parents so many times to help me get a job ever since I was 14 (I'm 17 now). I need their help because I genuinely don't know anyone to ask. I still don't. I am not very social and I really sucks because I really want some bit of income. I'm not very skillful in anything in particular so I cant really ask a specific company. Noone in shops is looking for people due to Covid and budget cuts. It really upsets me when I get called lazy and useless when I cant find a job for myself. It is normal in my country to not have a job till you're like 18-20. But I've just always wanted to put my effort into the society and I contantly feel like an utter failure. I cry a lot about it ngl.
Thanks schlatt for the advice you give. It may not help me and my fears but it will most definitely help others.
Literally just google or watch RUclips’s videos on how to make a CV/ resume. Then send it to any businesses email addresses you can. See if that works
@@mostunique5941 I already have a CV. We do them in school here. I've tried sending some off to a few different places but never got replies back and that was both post and pre Covid. So I'm unsure what I'm doing wrong. I've checked it over and over for errors or something but I just never get replies back.
Emily G. Well I guess you’ve just gotta wait/ keep on trying to see what works. One day you’ll get accepted and it’ll be great but until then keep working at ir
Tbh I think you should find the things you may be good at and turn them into hobbies. In high school the clubs can be great to find friends that you can relate to and al together you can help each other find jobs. Start small and work your way up with some skills.
Hi Schlatt! You have helped me feel better when nothing else could. You have brought to me laughter like none other. Yesterday, I felt inspired by this series; I plan on starting a channel based on this idea. I want to help people get through this quarantine too. I wanna thank you for inspiring me. Soon I’ll create an email dedicated to this and a new channel. Thank you so much!
These weirdly line up with my life with each upload
Edit: The MTA does indeed suck ass
If anyone is about to do a job interview heres an amazing quote for your closing line, or when they ask you what you bring to the table
"Every company (or workplace) needs great employees, and i fit that criteria"
Hey, got some stuff to add, or at least to compound what Schlatt said. Also, I'm fairly certain I've mentioned part of this in a previous comment but, dammit, if Schlatt can repeat himself about previous jobs of his then so can I.
So, I'm a high school senior, right? That's basically the ideal time to start working up a bit of cash to afford college. Now, I didn't actually get a job until the ripe, ripe age of 16. I had been applying to the same place for nearly two years (the only place in town that took employees that young), but I was so half-assed-- and clearly doing it because my parents had told me to-- that no one in their right mind would ever hire me. What actually motivated me to get my first job was my parents threatening to take my car away if I didn't get it by the end of the year.
Within a month, I had kicked into high gear and gotten employed by this service called Aftercare. Essentially, I'd pop by every day after school for a few hours to look after kids and make sure they didn't tear each other's limbs off or something. Let me tell you, it was brutal, and I would never wish those kids on my worst enemies. But I regret not a second of it. I got experience, I got references from my employers, and I learned work ethic. That same year, I got a job with my brother-in-law at his liquidation company for slightly higher pay, so I started juggling that alongside my school, other job, and college.
Now, obviously COVID-19 has taken away the former of my jobs, at least temporarily. I still do some liquidation work, and even though it's not nearly enough I still take what I can. As I go forward for my new jobs, though, I can assure you that what attracts those employers is persistence and confidence. Sure, it's good to have references and a good resume; do that, for sure, it's pretty essential. But you have to keep pestering them until they take a look at that application, no matter how obnoxious it is. Present yourself with dignity and with unabashed self-confidence, even if it feels unearned. That applies to more than just jobs. That applies to life in general. Go forth like you are a man/woman about town with doors opening on every side, in a professional manner.
Hey schlatt I just bought a new desk from an antique shop and I’m much happier because it was made in my home state instead of child workers in China. It’s a nice piece I would recommend looking in antique stores for a good cheap desk.
you own two businesses, i'm sure you could hook him up with something
edit: thank you for the advice with the second question, i know i'm not the one who asked it but i could definately take some pointers from it
Answering my questions without me asking, What a guy.
Feel like I should tell people.
So since I was 16 I’ve been looking for a job for two years and its been absolute pain tryna find one without even getting interviews or anything.
Then this video came out and I followed whats been told to do. BOOM, interview easy as that. Then iterated my point that I want to work during said interview. BOOM, phonecall on the same day.
Obviously in a case for me with it happening so quick might have been luck but you can’t deny the results so if anyones in the same position this videos absolutely fantastic.
Finding a job while still being young is right up my base! A couple of days ago I started working at a friends house with the yard and gardens. They are are around 50 years old and they are a great friend of my dad so my family hangs out with them a lot. Even though the pay is 5 dollars an hour, I stay very positive. I learn how to meddle with very tough weeds and get closer to insects I used to tremble at. I get a good workout raking grass or sitting and grabbing piles a rocks dug into the dirt. I know the pay is half the minimal wage, but I feel like I am helping out more in a way and learning things I can use at life. My first job got me to wake up early and get a nice breakfast, and I am excited for next time when I start to learn the ropes of painting the porch. The guy is getting older and going to the doctor more so it is perfect for me to get plenty of work till I can get a legitimate job.
Also the guy is retired, I had to double check with my dad.
It was a good run, its no longer weekly
As someone who is in the same situation as the second commenter, this was really helpful. Applying to chains like McDonalds and Walmart has often just gotten me brushed off their shoulder; after all, I'm technically not old enough to work. I gotta start looking around if I wanna find a real job. Thanks.
I can’t find a job at SchlattCoin Industries, can you send me a good word Mr. Schlattimus Prime?
using your own life experiences to help out other people is probably the best thing you can do on a social platform, and i'm glad schlatt figured that out. his advice, even when it's not relevant to me, helps for the future or even with a problem i didn't know i had. so thankful for this dude
Hey, Schlatt have you considered putting these up on Spotify. Would love to listen to these on that.
Woah I didn't know this would update right now. Just wanted to say that I moved into my freshman dorm today Schlatt and I am all alone quarantined in a dorm building until my test comes back. I was just feeling really alone and sad being away from home but getting a weekly slap update has automatically put me in a better mood, especially since one of the question relates a bit to me. Thanks for all the content and I really love what you do! Have a great day Schlatt :)
Hey Schlatt, I know you read the comments on these so as you're scrolling by I'd just like to say have a nice day. Keep at it champ. 👍
I cry everytime a new episode comes out. tears of joy. I honestly never thought the weekly series would happen.
I’m having this problem rn
I like to think these types of videos are from 2013-2016 because those were the best videos
how is it sunday already :0
Schlatt is improving my life with these videos
Hey jchlatt, I’ve recently discovered this channel. I was wondering what is the best way to manage my money
he has a video talking about stuff like that
"your aura dictates how people treat you" is one of the best pieces of advice for life in general. I've always had self confidence issues and am always second guessing myself. I watch a lot of movies and the people in suits always carry such a loud presence wherever they go. So I decided to invest in a suit and start to imitate the actions the characters do. Fake it till you make it right? I feel a lot more confident just by standing taller and making myself the most presentable that I can be. It really goes to show the power of your own self image, anyway. A great piece of advice as as soon as I started treating myself better, other people followed suit and treated me better too
I go back to school irl tomorrow. Wish me luck boys.
gl bro
Ive been in alot of fights with my parents recently and schlatts videos help me get through the rest of my day so thank you schlatt your keeping me alive
First, but who cares, great video.
ur not, but who cares, great video
How'd you already finish watching it
Water Sheep kekw stfu
@@ren.8137 You didnt even watch the video did you?
@@ren.8137 lmao
This made me feel a lot more confident for applying to jobs this year thanks for the advice man!
“Can’t”
It’s just so relaxing to listen to schlatt just talk about stuff for like 5-10 minutes that’s interesting. Schlatt you should definitely make another investing video
I love you Schlatt but that CV advice was absolutely terrible. Your resume should highlight the things you're good at (or would like to pretend to be good at). By adding unnecessary/irrelevant things like hobbies you overshadow the qualities that make you special. It's clear you're a full time RUclipsr (sorry not sorry xoxo)
The CV advice was for a 14 year who’s looking for his first job. Obviously as you get some more experience down the road you want to tailor your resume better - sorry if I didn’t make that clear
@@theweeklyslap fair enough
I found out about this channel not so long ago. It's so strange to hear Schlatt calmly speaking and giving helpful advices to his viewers... and I love it! It's great to see him doing something that differs from his more popular content.
Bro schlatt in this channel feels like a uncle with all the answers
Just found this channel. It feels like those old cod commentary channels. So much nostalgia man.
It feels so relieving to hear a down-to-earth/realistic version of schlatt
Thank you j recently I've been wicked stressed and your videos always say the right things, thanks man.
i genuinely love this channel, it has helped me with so many struggles. thank you schlatt
Congrats on one million on the main channel! All of your content has been one of the highlights of my quarantine. Keep up the great work!
It's actually interesting to see Schlatt in Cod, he's pretty solid at it.
I swear schlatt's videos are always perfectly timed, legit every video is on a topic im struggling from.
