How to REALLY Get A Job

[@BoonDoggle]

How to get a job. 1.) Show up every morning right when the business opens and not one minute later. 2.) Ask for an application 3.) Make 100 copies 4.) Show up every morning when the Business opens turn one in 5.) Eventually they will tell you to stop or they are not hiring, show up the next day same thing no matter what they say 6.) Eventually the manager will either get tired of seeing you and hire you, or he will realize your on time everyday and he mine as well start paying you. This is how I got my first job. You got to be hungry in this market!!!!

[@MADdaDJ]

me too. lol stereo shop i started sweeping in there

[@memback01]

Damn! Dedication. I took the lazy approach and just filled out a shit ton of apps online. Now I have a job op for my county as a dispatcher.

[@zmortis]

memback01 online job applications are easy for you and easy for the employer to look right past you at someone else who looks better on paper. Face time is important. Get into a potential employer's place of business and talk to the other employees. Talk to their HR people. Don't be a pest, but do be persistent. That persistence alone pays off much better than hundreds of online applications while siting at home.

[@nutnfancy]

zmortis Yep, you can't replace the personal interaction. As discussed here!

[@ricks.1092]

Hey man, I'm truly happy for you. And your method really paid off for you. Unfortunately some people don't get what you already are aware of. You have nothing to lose and quite a bit to gain, by simply trying hard at whatever endeavor one is seeking. Good for you man.

[@ArtisanTony]

Great video. People should also remember they can create services and sell them. Repair things, deliver things, create your own job. Get out there and sell your self and service. I started a framing crew when I was 17 and now I own my own design-build company. I created that for myself. I didn't wait for someone to create a job for me. Anyone can do this. I did invest in my future when I was young though. I attended a building trades school in high school. So investing in your future when you are young is important.

[@TheLateBoyScout]

Great advice. It comes down to doing your best in every task you have,

[@CarlOutdoors]

you know nutnfancy makes good videos when you find yourself watching this video when you already have a job.

[@TheLawDawg]

Right on Nutn! I have finally put myself in the position where I have started a successful business (in a recession no less) and can afford a few nice things in life. On the way to this point I have mucked out duck ponds, shoveled crap at a sewage treatment plant, cut wood, served fast food, cleaned bathrooms, cleaned up construction debris, counted traffic, mowed lawns, worked 36 hours straight more times than I can count, worked 6 days a week on the road for 7 years, bought and renovated a beat up house so we did not have to rent any more, and countless other tough tasks. I am from a poor family with no rich uncles lurking anywhere, I made my own luck and I never, ever, even for a moment considered letting anyone else provide for me and my family. Now I am 42 and I can tell my kids exactly the same thing you just said. The path to success is hard and it is almost never in a straight line. One thing that you get from working hard that no one can take away is honor and the self esteem that comes from being the kind of person that gets things done and that is something that sells itself.

[@towelboi]

Nutn, I was working in fast food just over a year ago. Currently I am working in clerical accounting but my goal for a long time has been to become a police officer. I have been struggling to give 110% in pursuit of this dream - this is no longer the case! As a man of faith I am convinced that my watching your video was not a coincidence - nor the fact that you used such "arbitrary" examples to solidify my conviction. You are continuing to do the world a great service despite your personal hardships. God bless you, sir. Get well soon, Nutn (and Mrs. Nutnfancy!)

[@rkrzbk]

Please keep these videos coming. So many people don't have the positive motivation and advice to guide them to success. I did for a time but sometimes forget or become distracted. These videos are inspirational and can change peoples lives.

[@nutnfancy]

Mandy I am glad to hear that. Sometimes I feel like my philosp videos are totally unappreciated and I put them on the back burner. I would love to keep people motivated in their quest to get a good job good career, with hard work and believe in yourself it is totally possible, bike I see in this video getting a job should be your job and T land one!

[@Spiner39]

nutnfancy Came for the "too much crap on your AR" vids, got hooked by the philosophy ones. Please don't stop doing these, they absolutely rock and are much appreciated. Much love from FL.

[@matthewroach2326]

nutnfancy You are awesome man. We appreciate every minute you give us.

[@zacharymiller5690]

I am 15 years old and i have almost $3000 in the bank and i have earned all of that myself I have done scrap metal, mowed lawns, and shoveled snow. Yesterday we got 8in of snow and in 2 hours i made $90 Just saying its not that hard if you try!!!

[@oshkoshbjosh986]

Sometimes most senior employees (most experienced) are cut first because they are more expensive to keep employed (higher base salary). Some companies would rather replace them with newbies who have lower hourly rates.

[@charlieakers2193]

That largely depends on the industry, if the skill sets of their senior employees are not easily obtained by the job force, then they will retain them. If what they do can be done by cheaper labor force, then that's what they will do.

[@MrRocket6373]

I remember posting a comment to this video back in early 2014 stating how it's always been a dream of mine to become a Police Officer. I first saw this video over a year ago and stated that was what I was going to do. At the time I was working the nightshift as a Security Manager studying and training for the extrance and PT exam. The day I was accepted into the Police Academy was one of the greatest days of my life! Through hardwork and extreme determination I graduated the academy and became a Georgia Post certified Police Officer with one of the toughest Academys in the US. The greatest and most proud day of my life. What you said in this video was so true, "How bad do you want it?". If you want it bad enough you can achieve it!

[@noelsingletary]

Good points! I have been unemployed for about a year and a half. I am still able to pay the bills because I got up off my ass and made something happen. I have various skills such as auto mechanic, carpenter etc. I fixed cars, and did handy man jobs. I am also watching other peoples dogs while they are on vacation. Hell, I made $3000,00 over the thanksgiving and Christmas holidays! Only you can decide what works for you. If you apply yourself and focus, you DO NOT need regular Joe Blow employment.

[@burgesskj]

You are not UNemployed, you are Self-employed. That's great, but unless it takes you over the Poverty Line, then you are still under-employed and looking for the next best thing.

[@noelsingletary]

Kevin Burgess The "Poverty Line" is a government term. There are actually people living quite well outside of urban areas that hardly make any money at all. They are self reliant and grow their own food and live off the grid. Forget the mumbo jumbo. As long as you are eating and have a roof over your head then you're getting by. Maybe not wealthy, but definitely not poor because you're not part of the rat race to the top. That is true freedom.

[@PolygonGTC]

Priorities man! Excellent video. Last year in June I was laid off from my job. I'm employed now, thank goodness, but I was able to get on unemployment. Even though that money was enough to cover all my bills, I still cut all luxuries. All the way down to my streaming Netflix account. It sucked not being able to take part in my hobbies but you've got to take care of the essentials and you don't know when you'll get a job and you don't know how long you'll be able to stay on assistance. I took the extra money and saved it in case. I also love your points on attitude and not being above working a job.

[@glaciermtf]

22yrs old, living at home with my dad (parents divorced), graduated, 2yr associate graphic design degree, heavy set kid, unemployed... I love guns, photography, video making, camping, music. I have many dream careers, a state fish n game cop, a regular cop, a national geographic photographer. I've been in a slump for a while now.Love your channel, huge fan, stumbled onto this video on a restless night at 6:06am. And honestly, thank you NutnFancy, i believe i needed this personally, I need to stop feeling bad for myself and back up everything i speak with action. Hope to one day have a channel like your's. - Arctic from GlacierMTF.

[@cjh8604]

I credit your "Workers are Few" video to where I am in my career right now. I work at Whole Foods and have gone from Team Member to Associate Team Leader of my department with in two years of getting hired. I followed you advice and did the jobs that no one wanted to do and I didn't wait to be asked. I made sure that I worked hard everyday I came in and never complained. If there is one word of advice I can give people is don't complain not complaining goes a long way. I thank you for your philosophy videos they really do help people. Keep up the good work Nutn.

Keep the quality coming. Loved your old story of you walking up the mountain every day for the job you wanted as a kid. Great words from your father. Great points made for all and myself. Thanks for the knowledge set.

[@pim1234]

Very good speech, although I'm working for the same boss for 26 years and have a good income even I got inspired !

[@kevanryl]

you nailed it again nut. i work in a steel mill union shop. people there has a lot of entitlement. like they go for a smoke break whenever they want. if they work hard that day, they think they doin a company a favour. i wish i work in a company that recognize hard work, loyalty and honesty.

Rock On! Having my 18yr old son watch this....Time for a reality check.

[@Ispowzfmanalog15]

Excellent topic as always! I suppose the people that disliked this video are the ones that you were talking about and obviously could not get through to? Bad attitudes WILL always hold you down and hold you back. Blessings brother, and thank you for being the interim Big Brother/Father that a lot of us have not had. Straight talking and calling out the B.S. is what is needed right now!

[@therhinocraft]

Nutn, I am thankful for your desire to impact the lives of your TNPers. I liked this video 15-20 min in to watching it and wanted to like it again towards the 45 min mark. I had to learn most of this on my own but my guess would be that there are some 20 somethings watching this video that could grab a blessing from your fatherly advise. It inspires me to continue working hard and to evaluate where I've gotten lazy. Thanks and I'm glad your leg infection is on the upswing.

[@tacticalveterinarian]

Great advice! True success is a measure of the obstacles one overcomes, not how much tactical gear you have at your house!

[@nds101122]

I love these videos Nutn! My father passed away a little over a year ago, and although I'm 26, but it's still nice and helpful to hear encouraging and helpful advice from an older "father-type" figure in his absence. Keep them coming and I'll keep watching them! Have a great day!

[@MrRocket6373]

Nutn, you don't realize how much I needed this; great pep talk! It's been my dream of mine to become a Police Officer my whole life. I am actively pursuing his dream. I'm not going to say it's been easy - but I continue to push on. Once again thank you so much! Be safe

[@toasty4000000]

Never watched an entire nutn vid until this one

[@Cmoth040]

After you get that job and have your bills and obligations paid I have another suggestion about getting that Ar on a budget. Build it. Buy the parts a bit at a time. It might take several months or even over a year to get it done but you won't break the bank and you'll be able to choose the parts you want to build the best Ar you can. Win / Win. Delayed gratification has it's benefits.

[@gobucks45177]

Spot on dude! I got downsized from the company I worked for out of high school. I worked my way up the management ladder before departing from said company. I looked high and low for another management job and could not get one so I had to swallow my pride and take what I could get at the time to support my family. God taught me a valuable lesson to rely on him and not myself. You are so right on with your video keep up the good work and can I please see a review on the FN PS90. I am thinking about getting one. Thanks!

[@Erstwhile.Freeman]

Watch all your vids but this one hit home for me. Hearing your no-BS approach was inspiring. Its good to be encouraged and educated in as many ways you can find. Everything helps when times are tough. Thank you!

[@t2390]

Cant tell you how awesome I think this video is Nutn! I'm a recent college grad and face the job market head on and EVERYTHING you said here came into play. You really hit home with these philosophy videos man. Keep them coming!!

[@hunterbutton935]

Wow.. I rarely subscribe to someone after one video but damn, you earned it. Blunt, honest, inspiring, and most importantly, helpful.

[@JohnRogue13]

I have watched many of your videos throughout the years. Today, I became a subscriber. Thank you for posting this video! In the past I have used many of the ideas you stress here to further my own career, and I can say that they work well. I've always said, "A closed mouth is never fed". Make your goals known and show that you are willing to work for them, you will be satisfied. Thanks again, and I'm looking forward to more from you!

[@mattheauchesterfield4465]

You're really so right Nutn! I am in college and I was unemployed and I went to find a minimum wage job and I wound up cleaning up crap and collecting carts and a large supermarket. I worked so hard that I became valuable and now (still a college student) am working security in that same store for almost double the pay. Working hard gets you places! Good ideas Nutn

[@geomundi8333]

Sorry to say, but I have worked at a business where some one like your son (who works hard and does any job) gets passed over again and again. Why? They are looked at as lower than the guys not scrubbing the toilets, etc. The douches who refuse to do so somehow preserve their facade of self importance despite lack of work. Work forces are not based on "work" 90% of the. Most times its political and you need to learn how to navigate that environment while providing quality work to compliment it. Scrubbing toilets etc will actually harm you long run in most work conditions.

[@ricks.1092]

If any one aspect of this video stays with a person. It should be how Nutn emphasized the word "Opportunity." Too many people today, feel they're owed something. Opposed to taking a situation and making the best of it. And never losing sight on what you want to achieve. When I told my parents I wanted to be a doctor, a surgeon to be more precise. My Dad, said he would keep his promise. And put me thru college. However, he mentioned he couldn't afford medical school. Or when I was in residency. I still never gave up my hopes and never let money dissuade me from the direction I wanted to head in. I got loans, a few hundred thousand in loans and made it thru a very competitive medical school (Harvard). And then proceeded to sacrifice all my twenties to accomplish my goals and dreams. It was tough at times, seeing my friends with decent jobs. And enjoying their free time. Whereas, I was constantly studying, or part time work. In an effort to get out of medical school. My residency was old school compared to today. Today there's rules for residents. Such as can't work more than 16 hour days and no more than 80 hrs per 7 days. Residency was difficult. I had no life outside of work and learning my craft. Sure I was paid a decent wage to live on. However, I was perpetually at the hospital. Not complaining here, because I always wanted to be a physician and truly help people. I figured I would have enough time to party, and make a personal life. Which I have done. I now have a great and understanding wife. And two kids. But I never gave up on helping people. Maybe it's in my nature...I don't know. However, I sincerely, love what I do and can't believe I get paid to do it too. Respectfully, Dr. Rick S.

[@nutnfancy]

GREAT story Dr Rick, thanks for telling it to us. Reading it I'm here nodding my head understandingly. I know what it's like to be in the drab no-fun, studying existence with seemingly no light at the end of the tunnel. But see you understand the concept of sacrificing something good for something better. Many don't. They are only appreciative of the here and now, unable to envision a more satisfying existence for themselves and more importantly work and persevere to the end to get. They get caught in the workaday poor paying blue collar life and never extract themselves from it. You did and stand as an example of the process.

[@ricks.1092]

nutnfancy Hey Nutn, I first of all wanted to thank you for personally acknowledging my aforementioned comment. I know you're busy with work, producing these great vids...we all love so much. As well as, Mrs. Fancy. I might add that a lot of people look up to you. Me included. And I'm not some young buck (47 yrs old) anymore. Many of us admire what you're doing with the "Project." And many us know you're quite humble, honest and sincere to name a few adjectives when describing you. That being said, TNPer's worldwide are standing by you and supporting you. As well as wishing you, Mrs. Fancy, Doodle and Last Suspect, nothing but the best in all your endeavors, adventures and subsequent hurdles the family is currently enduring. Remember, your fan base is behind you and Mrs. Fancy. If there's is anything I can do to assist you and Mrs. Fancy regarding her medical condition. Please do not hesitate to contact me. I would be more than happy to provide whatever insight, referrals, or simply answer any question you guys might have. The condition as you're probably aware of now, is quite manageable. And yet it will be a challenge. Nothing the Fancy Clan can't handle. I was first attracted to your honest Gun, Knifes and Kit reviews. I began to check out your other vids. And was happy to see how grounded you are. And how similar we are in many respects. On your WROL medical preparedness video. I left a lengthy comment. In an effort to give some suggestions in how a person could help themselves from a medical stand point. It was you and this video that initially inspired me. To write a long informative comment. Hopefully assisting the TNPer's out there. In a sense, I feel as though TNPer's have this sort of connection. In which we're all striving to better ourselves. TNP, in my humble opinion is a huge "Success." And we have you to thank for that. And Doodle deserves some credit too. My Best Wishes to You ALL, Dr. Rick S.

[@dav07026]

Nutn I'm a new TNP'er and I love your videos and the work you do! I am a hiring manager and I wanted to just say that you hitting the nail on the head with this one.

[@jonathansmith5189]

My first job was at McDonald's. What that job taught me was how to work. It taught me how to work hard. How to work efficiently. How to do the job correctly the first time. It taught me people skills. How to interact with the customer. It was some of the most valuable time I have ever spent. I would never fault someone for working at McD's. I piss my friends off because I tell them, "McDonald's is always hiring!" Thank-You McDonald's!!!

[@Kiddomike]

nutnfancy went up a notch in my books. I subscribed to this channel because of the love for knives. This is great advice! We are lucky to have found this. I'll save this video and maybe someday share it to someone who might need it.

[@lukecole5488]

Great vid Nutn!!! I've been telling people this all the time... And as a manager that does hiring, I specifically look at applications to see who really wants to work, not the people that have gone over a year jobless with a reason like "I don't want to work at (someplace), because that's below me"

[@ace51k1]

Nutn, thank you for this video. I just recently graduated with my degree and have had the hardest time trying to find something within my field of interest. My stepping stone for where I want to get in life involves joining the Navy and gaining my security clearances but my first obstacle to joining the Navy is passing the ASTB. I appreciate the extra motivation in this video.

[@MattHeinrichs]

Confidence is huge. If I'm being honest, I've been "underqualified" for almost every job I've had as a journalist. When I first started, I had no college degree and zero experience. Through confidence in myself as a writer (and LOTS of luck) I got a dumpy little job as a sports stringer at a local weekly newspaper. I was STOKED! Then I went from stringer to writer to columnist to editor for different publications within three years. You just have to believe in yourself, take what you can get and be ready to step up when the next opportunity presents itself.

[@DeltaSig80121]

It took me 2 years to get hired into law enforcement from written test date through background investigation until receiving my final offer. I worked minimum wage jobs after graduating from college with a bachelor's degree until I got hired. Your example about becoming a police officer is pretty much dead on. You just do what you gotta do.

Your words are truly inspiring.

I can humbly say I'm an important asset to my employers. I'm now 28 years of age with a wife and 3 year old daughter. I have been telling myself since my daughter was born it's time to move on to bigger and better things but I've been stuck comfortably with what I've got.

GREAT TRUTHFUL AND BRUTALLY HONEST VIDEO! Simply put... I tell this to people all the time as a self employed individual and entrepreneur; in life you have to measure THE WANTS VS. THE NEEDS. That AR, DO YOU WANT IT OR NEED IT? then followed by, once determined you NEED IT, how do you plan to obtain it, and fill the void in your wallet that it has created. Philosophy first followed by sustainability, stability and security. Love your videos!

[@ADKwarriors]

No one does brutal honesty quite like the Col. Thank you for your dedication NutN. Been there done that and I am very happy to have my current employment.

[@eddiet204]

Great video Nutn. As an LEO, I would like to offer this advice to your audience, especially those who may have ambitions for a career in law enforcement. This may seem obvious, but DON'T GET ARRESTED! The number one reason the average Joe/Jane gets arrested is alcohol. The worst thing that you can do is go to a club, get drunk, and then get into a fight. Worse yet, you are drunk and then decide it would be a good idea to defend your girlfriend's honor. If you like to smoke pot, you need to quit-like yesterday...When you get back grounded, they will ask you if you smoked pot and when was the last time you smoked pot. If your answer is something like "6 months ago", you might as well tattoo DQ on your forehead. This may seem like common sense, but I can't tell you how many candidates are waived because of the reasons I mentioned. You also need to be the BEST driver in the world. If you do get a ticket for a vehicle code violation, TAKE CARE OF IT. Like Nutn said, pay your bills. Poor DMV and credit reports DQ several candidates as well.

[@honestypays2]

Great video. As a Vietnam veteran who has suffered from PTSD and severe depression, and been given the run a round at the VA and no benefits provided, I am realizing that the only way I will come back is from my OWN efforts. I will also add that I was always productive, owned a very successful business, and sold it and worked for major companies as was successful. Then seven years ago PTSD kicked in and everything financially changed. I have been dealing with it spiritually since all the medication did not work. Time to pick it up and start to rebuild. At age 64 it will be a challenge, but I have a many great ideas as to how to do it.

[@SlvrChkn]

AWESOME Nutn! As a hirer, i see you are putting out good information that a lot of newer generational people do not have these days.

Always look forward to your Philosophy of Life videos. Another great one. Been working since I was 13, and I have never been fired, and only laid off once. The one time I was laid off I was the FNG, and I still questioned my work ethics. I will never be jobless for long if ever, in the future. Sorry to word it this way, but in this world at this time if you can have a pulse and show up on time you can have a job if you try 1% harder than the other leaches. I was a wholesale manager for a large Auto Parts chain a few years ago. I had stacks of job applications. The all got put into a pile and ignored. Yup. That's right, ignored. The positions I needed to fill were entry level, no experience required, jobs. I needed people that wanted to work. To show that they had to bug me, and question me about the position. They had to show effort. 98% of the applicants never called or even checked in. I had a hard time believing that, and I still do.

Humor is hugely important. And being a good dude. People remember. Great post, NF, I'm going through it now. It sucks sometimes, but I'll keep going.

[@kam2057]

I happened to find your channel researching Kelty packs. That video was excellent! I could tell right away that you weren't your regular youtuber. A pilot!? Awesome and thanks for your service to our country. Another great video.

[@jimmycoss333]

Hi NutnFancy, Watched this whole video hoping to be enlightened regarding finding employment. You are totally honest, inspiring, and thoughtful towards others, which I really appreciate. I was laid off and have a wife and three daughters...I have been kind of depressed lately, feeling like I am worthless, but after watching your video, I realized that I want to take your advise and go for it...My reason for writing you is this; you inspired me, and woke me up a bit....Things I already knew but was retold by you as I have worked for 40 years but cannot retire and am seeking employment...Many thanks, Jimmy....I will let you know how I make out.

[@sebastianbrown4277]

Sir, I clicked this video hoping to find some untapped market of jobs only you knew about or as you said "magical" way to get a job. Instead I found honest, unbiased truth. Several of the things you shared have already been said to me. However, I believe my eyes were opened because you don't know me, my situation, or my history. This is a formula, and a formula always works the same way every time, when properly executed. I do have a few questions though. First, how do I asses my strengths and weaknesses? I have very low self-esteem, so I see most things about myself as a weakness. Second, how do I find that dream job for me. I don't know what I want to pursue. I just know I don't want to be here. Thank you again sir. I will browsing your other life videos for more of this.

[@reptilesgamers00]

+Sebastian Brown Well said. I'm in the same boat as you. I wish I had something I was passionate about, something I can persue, but I'm just not interested in one thing. I have minor interests but nothing I want to persue for a career. I'm currently 19, grew up without a dad but had a loving mother. As of now, I feel like I lack direction. Must of my life I felt like I have been wandering, excepting what is convenient to me. With no one for me get answer from, I'm getting most my answers from Google... Let me know if you found any solid material to your problem. As of now, i'm trying to get a job, but online or paper applications seem like they go into the void. No response. I have cold called many times... ridiculous. I'm going to keep my hopes up. Hopefully I can land something.

[@iansherren9094]

Nuttin I've been watching you a long time. This one hits home as I'm trying to get my own marketing business off the ground. I ask my self every day, was that the best I could do. I grew up in the northwoods of WI and the best was standing in freezing lake water getting the job done. I know I'm stronger than most. I also know that doesn't really matter because it's about getting the job done. Just wanted to say that you give me the strength to fuel my dreams! Keep it up Nuttin!! P.S. I know how to look profesional....most jobs think I'm too much...they don't understand I'm not above anything....I grew up in my family business helping my Dad with the sewer...oddly enough one of my fondest memories...

[@dillanbrock6872]

Hey nutn I'm 15 and have not had my first job yet but I plan to get one within the next year or too and I appreciate your advice, and your honesty. Thanks for making such great videos, I'm a big fan of all the gear reviews and different videos like this one as well. You have inspired me to make the most out of life and really get my priorities straight, to do good in school and to one day get a job that I enjoy and that will provide well for me and my family in the future. Thanks once again for the good work -Dillan

[@joecardon7077]

I love this Vid Nutn! Life priorities are so important. I hope you get tons of views on this. Thanks for helping the community out. Keep on rocking brother.

[@Tyler-zn5rd]

Hey Nutn Iv'e been a member of TnP for three years now.. I really appreciate you making this video. I live in Texas and am 21 years old. I am currently putting myself through school and working a warehouse job I do not enjoy at all.. My dream has always been to be a police officer Im doing everything I can to get into the academy.. Thank you so much for this video I will use it as motivation !

[@RealBushMonkey]

just throwing this out there...I live in norther british Columbia,near the start of the southern end of the Alaska hiway,im a bush surveyor,i get paid very well to ride atv,utv,snowmobiles,helicopters and spend all day in the woods often in very remote areas, I probably average 75 hrs a week so there is LOTS of overtime,benifits etc....and WE HAVE BEEN HIREING NON STOP FOR MANY YEARS!!! as have MANY other local,oilfield related employers.they beg for people up here and its a great area,beautiful, yet its so hard to find any help with or without experience. sometimes being gainfully employed is as simple as moveing to a different area.

[@JPew]

Ive been following the TNP project since 2008 and I have to say this has to be the most helpful video in the channel. Great stuff NUTN!!!!

[@gendo1]

Could not have used this advice at a better time. Triple Owl here and day 1 fan. Still loving the Sh!t out of my Shark w/ jet pack patch and my double owl. Both things my son will get when he sees the Nutnfancy Blue Ray collection years from now.

[@Towert7]

As I am currently applying for a skilled job, some of these points really hit home.

[@MachOverspeedsPlace]

54 year-old, 10000+ hour unemployed professional aviator here.. Good luck getting a job flipping burgers, or doing any other work that doesn't require brains, with a professional resume and work history. Thank God I've got the family oil & gas business to fall back on, or else I'd be starving to death. Because the first rule of middle management, is to NEVER hire anyone smart enough to be your boss.

[@VisualAFMedia]

I grew up poor on a subsistence farm. I knew i had to work harder than most to get further. Ive worked since i was 12. Wide array of jobs. Rule 1. Swallow your pride and take any job. Im now in a great career. The lazy friends ive known are either in jail or bad off. Thx for the vid Nutn.

[@PhanRegBuick]

Preach it Nutn!! Great video as always brother, glad to hear you are feeling better!

[@deanetodd5644]

Nutn, As a retired business owner I so agree with your thoughts! It was sooo hard to find people with a positive work ethic. I appreciate your constructive thoughts. Thank you for your efforts and willingness to be a leader and mentor. Deane Todd

[@MichaelHenriques]

this video needs to be seen in ever highschool

[@garysanders6091]

Main advice I can give through my short experience as someone who has been hired, and hired others.. Humanize the process.. If the employer likes you, and you have nearly all the qualifications, he will hire you. Go in, grab an application, and have a conversation about him. Pretend like you like the business, pretend like you're interested in the trade, and hell if you have to, pretend like you like his shoes.. Give him a reason for him to like you as a person, and you improve your odds 10 fold.

[@tedbarsalou]

***** When I'm hiring I make them finger my butthole. Hope that helps!

[@yEuhpues]

Great pep talk and advice Lt. Col. Fancy. A reminder of tried and true ideas, some forgotten, some new ideas, and encouragement for those of us trying to improve our situations.

[@michaelgrove7450]

I have a job and this video definitely reinforced a lot of things I forgot about. I have a strong personality and sometimes it gets the best of me. "entitled to certain things is my problem" its time to except the sh!t stuff and make myself valuable to my company again. Thanks nutn'!!! :)

[@DittoGlen]

Nutn' you nailed it man.... In my High School (vocational) there was a full length mirror on the top floor with a sign above it which read "Would you hire you?" Discipline, drive, attitude, perseverance, and confidence those traits........those are the keys to success All I would add is “Improvise, Adapt and Overcome!” Clint Eastwood: Heartbreak Ridge (life is fluid, dynamic, not a static condition) ★★★★★

[@UWCcyberwolf]

I literally just got back from being delayed for an interview.

[@Todd_S]

Glad to see you are carrying the M&P Shield, Nutn'. I love mine and I was wondering who makes the decal grip for it. You and Mrs. Nutnfancy are in our prayers. Get well soon.

[@SystemStudent]

I am 23 I went to tech school after high school. Then got a job at the local junkyard taking apart cars. Worked as hard as I could for 3 years and it sucked but I never complained and I did whatever they asked me too do, I learned good work ethics from my dad and guys like you nutn. Currently I am in management making good money and I am working on my next goal of becoming a marine. Thanks for the great vids

[@tautvis24]

Love these types of videos Nutn'. You are humble and very knowledgeable about numerous topics. Even if you only help one person I feel that you have made an improvement and should feel great for doing so. However, this video is going to help countless people and you have made a huge impact on many. You are a great American my friend. God Bless.

[@swood943]

You're the man nutnfancy. Loved the video and it was very, very true. Coming from a grocery store cashier who is going to college to become a state police officer!

[@brokenhands512]

Great video, straight up and honest. Really took it to heart. Fairly new to the nutnfancy channel and I have never been disappointed with any of your videos. Keep bringing us these awesome videos, because I will be watching them.

[@akumax3135]

I made a list of my strengths and weaknesses and it was a real eye opener. Each of the weaknesses might seem small but all together it adds up! Got some good strengths too

[@JAKMAN32]

Thanks for the vid, and the encouraging statement at the end it is appreciated. Keep the awesome vids coming

[@BKDocHoliday]

I worked at mcdonalds for 3 years then a year at a local lumber yard. from there I got a job in a prison kitchen as a temporary worker because of my food service experience and from there i am now a correctional officer making good money and good benefits.

[@ryhnodude]

One stepping stone is learning about yourself I want to work as automotive designer and so it wasn't going fast enough and so I decided learn to weld and find a way to do things the Chip Foose way

[@EDCDepot]

I have been hiring people all types of companies for 15 years. This video is a virtual gold mine of great information. I love the knife and gun videos, but this is one of your best yet. Great work!

[@deanetodd5644]

I remembered a quote I heard from a Minister. "Your pay grade is determined by the problem you are willing and able to solve for someone. Find a problem you WANT to solve." Your pursuit of a mentor is imperative.
