His New Job is a 1915 American short silent comedy film written by, directed by, and starring Charlie Chaplin.[2] Gloria Swanson appears as an uncredited extra.[2] The title is an inside reference to this being Chaplin's first film after leaving Keystone Studios for Essanay Studios. It was also the only film Chaplin shot at Essanay's Chicago studio. He found the facilities and climate (His New Job was shot in mid-winter) not to his liking, and Chaplin soon relocated back to California.
