Sending a letter or e mail? Asking for work in a Night Club

0:00 I'm not going to give any names or places here

Alright folks, Jonathan here. Had an email from someone regarding an email they're going to send to a club owner and ideally they want to work in that specific club. Now I'm not going to give any names or places here. Now this actual video is sort of on par with another one I did about age and that is a lot of people out there now, there are a lot of very good DJs that are maybe under 18, under 16 and they feel that their age... This video is dedicated to you. You don't have to say who you are, you don't have to leave a comment underneath, anything like that. Just have a listen and hopefully this video will help other people as well. Now very quickly I'm going to give you a tiny bit of information regarding the actual email this chap...

1:19 Feel confident, enough feel

Now it says something like this. Now I'm going to stop right there. I'm not saying that's a bad thing or a silly or negative thing to say, but don't knock yourself down. What you must think of is that... First of all, if you know you're good enough and you feel confident enough to even think about asking to play in a club, then you must be good enough yourself. At the end of the day, if you're not good enough and you don't feel confident, you shouldn't even be asking. You should be sitting in your bedroom, practicing, getting more knowledge, trying hard until you feel confident inside yourself. Throw out confidence to the likes of these managers and say, hello here I am, I am so-and-so age and I would like to work in your nightclub. I'm quite happy to do a few sets to see how I get on, to see if I like to work there, to see if I like the place and also to see if you like me. If you do like me and I like the actual club...

2:39 Bingo, you are in essence, from that split second, you are a professio

Thank you for watching. But alternatively, you've done a couple of days there, then maybe the manager may think, yeah, we like what you're doing, we'd like to pay you. Then bingo, you are in essence, from that split second, you are a professional DJ. Because about professionalism is, in a sense, it's when you're getting paid to do a job. So maybe reword that email. As I've said, again, you know, sometimes I do digress with certain videos, but I hope you get the general idea. The general idea with regards to this video is of course age is a problem for certain people. They think they're under 18 and they're not good enough. But there are a lot of people out there who are under 18 and they're damn good DJs. So think about it. If you're good, you're confident, you know you're good and you have confidence, then go out there and sell yourself.

Promote yourself. That's what it's all about. I hope this has been a help. Practice and enjoy.
