 Hi everyone. Hello and welcome to another live session from ICTT. My name is Linda and I'm back again this week, week after week after week, still here. It's been a fun ride with all of you guys on this Facebook and YouTube live journey. We started doing these lives, I believe in October. Yeah, in October last year and, you know, we've been back every week ever since. So it's a lot of fun just waiting for a couple of other people to join us today. And then we're going to talk about the most common TEFL job scams and how to avoid them. So that's today's topic. As always, guys, if you have joined, if you can see me and if you can hear me, please just leave a high or something in the comment section in the comment box so that I know that you're here and that you can see me and you can hear me because you never know what kind of technical issues might arise. So please just do that. Say hello and maybe where you are watching from. I'm in South Korea about an hour and a half south of Seoul and it's very foggy today. I'm sitting in front of the window and you can barely see anything outside. It's really kind of scary, but it's actually a pretty nice light. This foggy light makes pretty good lighting for this video. So, you know, you have to appreciate the little things, I guess. So that's good. Yes, as always, guys, we are live on Facebook and YouTube at the same time. So whichever platform you're watching from, thanks so much for tuning in today.

She is from Russia, so she is a non-native English speaking teacher, which is very, very awesome to get a different perspective because at ITTT we do have a lot of non-native English speakers who take the courses and get certified and want to start their career. So she knows a ton about that. Also online teaching, she's great, so you really want to watch her live sessions as well. And then Thursday slash Friday, it's my turn. And I talk about all kinds of different topics. So last week we talked about, what did we talk about? Also jobs. Oh, the Tefl interview, the 15 most commonly asked questions during a Tefl interview that was last week's topic. And today's topic, Tefl job scams and how to avoid them. Very important. How to avoid them. So that's what we're going to do today. And yeah, guys, let me know. Have you ever applied for a Tefl job before? And if you did, you know, did you ever experience a Tefl job scam? What's your experience? Are you aware of any Tefl scams? Have you ever come across or some of your friends? Let me know in the comment box, leave a comment if you have and what sort of scam it was.

I actually studied Mandarin Chinese. So I decided to move to China to improve my language skills and just to experience, you know, China and the culture was very, very exciting. And then I met my husband who happened to be South Korean. And I moved to South Korea and I've been here ever since it's going to be six years in May, I can't believe it. So that's a little bit about me. And then I'm also a Tefl and T sole marketing professional at it that stands for international Tefl and T sole training.

So, yeah, that's a little bit about me. I can see we have a couple of people joining now. Hi guys. If you missed it, but you probably can tell from the title, what what today's topic is. Sorry, I want to go back to that one. So looking for a Tefl job, what scams do you need to look out for? And I asked a couple of minutes ago, if any of you have experienced any Tefl scams, have you ever experienced a Tefl scam? Feel free to let us know what kind of scam that was and a little bit about, you know, what happened and how you dealt with it and how you found out it was a scam. And also at any time during this life, it's probably going to take about, we usually do about 45 minutes. So at any time during this life, feel free to ask your questions, put them in the comment box and just send them into me. It doesn't only have to be about today's topic can be about anything teaching Tefl related. Feel free, you know, that's what I'm here for. So don't be shy. Don't be shy. All right. Hi, Juliana. Hi, Juliana. So awesome. Seeing, you know, the same people week after week, it's really great. And then seeing some new people, that's, it's really awesome. That's why I love doing these live sessions. So anyway, moving on. We did that. Okay. So first of all, I want to talk a little bit about what, what do they want? Why do people scam? Like, why are there Tefl scammers and what do they want? You know, unfortunately in the world, there's all sorts of scammers, especially now with the internet, you know, it's so easy to do online scams. So we really, really need to be careful. And also with any kind of scammer, the same goes for Tefl scammers. Most of the time they try to take advantage of teachers looking for jobs overseas for pure financial gain. So they want your money. That's just how it is. Most of the scams are revolved around money. So they ask you to send money beforehand. Or also some of them might try to get credit card information or, you know, other personal information. So it's most of the time financial gain, but it can also be personal, like personal information theft. Right. So if you, if they ask you to send in like a copy of your passport or like your ID or like a social security number, bad sign, bad sign. So do not do that. Yeah. So that's their premise. That's why they do it. And now we are going to get into the most common scams, the most common Tefl scams to look out for. And also how to avoid them because that's the most important thing. What can you do? How can you spot them? And then how can you deal with it? So that is today's topic. And again, thanks so much for watching today for tuning in. Let me know where you guys are watching from, just throw in a quick hi. I'm watching from so and so. So like I said, I am in South Korea. It's Friday morning. It's a very foggy day, but, you know, we have to deal with it. And yeah, I think I wanted to say something and I forget. But anyway, let's just jump into the topic and see what the first scam is. All right. So the first scam that I want to talk about is using the name of a well known school. So most countries abroad, they will have, you know, big and well known like school chains. I know that a lot from, you know, China and South Korea, there's just some of those chains that are very big and every city they have a school. So those are very, very well known. And generally, as a teacher, we want to get into one of those really well known schools, right? So one of the most common scams is that in the job ad, when you read the job advertisement online, they would use the name of a reputable school in the job ad. But obviously, they're not the real school. So they would use a typically a similar email address with a different domain. So if you look at what I've written here, so for example, as an example, schoolofenglishatgmail.com instead of jobs at schoolofenglish.com. So at Gmail, whenever it's like a generic email address like that, like Gmail or Yahoo or whatever it is, it's often a scam, especially if it's a big school. Because a big school, a big chain, they have their own domain. So they have their own email addresses with their name in it instead of Gmail. So instead of schoolofenglishatgmail.com, the real one would be jobs at schoolofenglish.com. So that's one way to tell. However, it's true that some smaller schools who don't have the resources to get their own domain, they're often going to do that. They're often going to have a Gmail address. So this scam, you can only tell from if it's a big school and they should have their own domain. So that's a little bit tricky with that one. But for bigger schools, it's definitely true. So how can we avoid this particular scam? The first step, even to figure out, hey, is this a legit email address or not? Because it says at Gmail, at Yahoo, do your research on the school name online. And then if it's a big school, they're likely going to have their own website. So you can check if the email advertised on the official homepage is the same as in the job ad. But sometimes they do use a different email address for hiring, so it can be different. But if their official email is at and then the school name instead of Gmail, then the Gmail one might not be the correct one. So but if you're still not sure, a great way to find out whether this job ad is legit or not is just to email the school via their homepage or social media account and say like, hey, I saw this job as I just want to check, you know, because I want to check if that is really from you guys. Is this job advertised through you guys? Is this really you? So that's a great way. And then they'd be like, yes, yes, that's us. And you're like, okay, cool. And then you can apply or they're like, oh, no, we we're not looking for teachers right now. Or oh, no, that's not our job ad. We haven't advertised on this side or like something like that. So that's a very great way to figure out if you're, if they're trying to scam you, right. And that's a very common scam, actually, and they even use, use the logo, because you can copy and paste it, right. So it's very easy to, for schools to fake it and pretend to be a well known school, or they even make up their own school name, right. That doesn't even exist. So always do your research. If you find a school in a job ad, it typically says, you know, what school it is, the school name. So you can be like, School of English in Beijing. Is this a real school? And then see if it shows up or not. And then you can always reach out to them, like I mentioned via email or social media, and make sure that the job ad really is from them. Does that make sense? I hope. All right, we have Yousef here. Hi. And Yousef is watching from Algeria, and it's 2am in the morning. Wow. Thanks so much for tuning in Yousef. That's great. Awesome. And we have Moses. Hi. Hey there. Hi, Moses. Good to see you again. And we also have Ahmed. Hi there. Awesome. Great. So this was the first Tefl scam I wanted to talk about, and has anybody experienced the scam before? Let me know. Let me know if you've experienced this particular scam before, and how you dealt with it. If at any time during this live, you know, you have a Tefl scam story, it would be just great if you could share it, because we all benefit from your experience. And maybe there's a scam out there that I'm not mentioning today. So it'd be great, because I mean, the scammers are trying to always come up with a new scam, right? It's their business. So they're trying to be creative and come up with new scams all the time. So it would be great to get your input as well, if you have experience with Tefl scams. All right. It always, and I always say that, but there is a 20, I think it's a 20 second delay from me talking to you guys than seeing it on Facebook or YouTube, just for like Facebook security reasons. So that's why sometimes I'm waiting for you guys to answer. That makes sense. But yeah, I'm just going to move on to scam number two. And if an answer comes in, I have my eye on it and then we can talk about it. All right. Okay. So a very common scam is requiring upfront payments. So that's when they really get into the nitty gritty and they're like, hey, you need to send me money. Okay. You're trying to get hired and they request money from the teacher very early on in the application process. And typically they're asking for things like airplane tickets, visa fees, security deposits for housing, all of those things. So that's a very, very common scam that a lot of Tefl scammers are trying to pull off. And, you know, sometimes it can be, it can be like, you're not quite sure, you know, is this a scam or maybe because you, you don't know the country, right? If this is, if you're trying to get hired into China and you've never been there before, you don't know anybody there and then they're telling you, well, yeah, we want to hire you, but we need, you know, the security deposit for your house. So when you get here, you have a place to stay. And maybe, you know, you don't know, you don't know how things work in China. So maybe you believe it and then you pay the money and then they are, they disappear with your money. So that can happen. So how can we avoid this scam when they're asking for upfront payments? What can we do? So typically no Tefl employer will ask for flight money upfront, especially the flight money or also security deposits. I've never heard about that before. So typically, you know, many employers either provide free airfare and free housing, you know, especially in countries like China, South Korea, places like that in Asia most of the time. So they will never ask for that money. If they do not provide free airfare, then it's typically on you to book your own flight, right? So you would book your own flight with your own money. And then many employers will actually reimburse you with the money once you start working or it will be deducted from your first salary and things like that. So typically some scammers will be like, yeah, we book your flight. So give us your credit card information so we can book your flight. No, don't do that. Or they're like, hey, we're booking your flight. The flight costs, I don't know, a thousand dollars. So please send us a thousand dollars or please send us half of that. And then half when you get there or something like that. No, also no. Typically, you do not send your employer any money beforehand. If, for example, in my case, I went from China directly to South Korea. Now I had some issues getting the Korean work visa in China because you typically have to do this. Well, I don't know, there were just some issues and I couldn't do it in China. So I first went to South Korea on a tourist visa and then I had to go to Japan to do a visa run. Go to Japan to a South Korean embassy to get my visa there. So how they did that with my school, they basically booked the, I took the ferry, they booked a ferry for me, they booked a hotel for me, all of those things. And then I think with my first salary, they deducted all of those things from my salary. So that can happen. So either they're like, they sponsor you completely, they take care of it, they pay for it because you are there hire or they pay for it in advance, you give them like your receipts and stuff. Or if they book it for you, I mean, they have the receipts themselves. And they would take it from your salary, for example. So usually it's done like that. It's never like you giving them upfront money. Typically, like, I feel like in no culture, this would be okay. Right? So, and also, I think the whole thing to think about, if it feels wrong, it's probably wrong. So you also have to trust your instincts, yeah, and your intuition, right? If it doesn't feel right, just don't do it. You don't like, you don't want to, you know, be there any possibility of you getting scammed. So if it doesn't feel right, just walk away from it. There's going to be another job. There's so many different Tefl jobs. This is not the only one, right? So don't, I think a lot of people think like that, that they're like, oh, oh, what if I can't find another job? Like I need to take this job. No, don't think like that. Don't take the first best thing. Of course, if it feels right and it's great, take it. But you know what I'm saying? Like, don't fall for a scam because you think like, oh, this is the only job offer I'm going to get. No. Okay? No. Don't think like that. So anyway, back to the scam. So how can we avoid it when they ask for upfront payments? Take a look. So especially if they ask for visa fees, right? You can take a look at the visa fees on the official embassy website, like in your country, for example. So at the Korean Embassy in the States, for example, you could check the website, look at the visa fees, and then you can even ask the embassy and call them and be like, you know, are the visa fees proposed by my employer? Do they sound legit? Are they all right? What do you think? And they'll probably going to be very helpful and, you know, give you advice. But typically no employer will ask for upfront payments. So if they ask for upfront payments, it's a little bit of a red flag. And it's probably better to just walk away. All right, I have a question from Ahmed. He's asking, did you work in China before? Yes, I did. I did. So I actually worked for, I did teaching also. I was a teacher in China. And I also worked for a Chinese German company in China as well. I spent half my time teaching and half my time working for that sort of. Yeah. Okay. All right. Then moving on to scam number three. That's I think also very common scam and obviously a huge red flag that is getting hired without an interview. So you'd apply for a job, you would send them your resume, and then they'd be like, great, you're hired. And you're like, oh, cool, I guess. No, not so cool. Okay. Most employers, they conduct Tefl interviews via Skype or phone, if it's not in person. Most of them it's online. It's a Skype interview or a phone interview, like I said, or like Zoom or whatever. So that's pretty much the norm. They want to see you. They want to get to know you. And at the same time, you want to see them and want to get to know them. You want to see your future employer or coworker, manager, whoever it is, and also see if it's a good fit. Right? So if an employer hires you without even asking for an interview, chances are very high that this job is a scam. All right. Now, why would they do this? Again, probably to move on to one of the scams, the scam that we just talked about, great, you're hired. Now let's book your flight or great, you're hired. Now let's give us money for your housing, things like that. Right? Or great. Now give us all your personal information. So be careful. I think that is a huge red flag. I mean, would you work for a company that just hires someone based on sending in an email? I don't think so. I wouldn't want to work for a company like that. Right? So yeah, I have another question here asking, is there a full-time job in China as a teacher of English? Yes, there are tons of full-time jobs, totally. So my first, I started out working for a German, a German Chinese company, and then I actually transitioned to full-time teaching in China. But there's tons of, actually China is the biggest ESL market for teaching, for teaching English as a foreign language abroad. It's the biggest market. There are more vacant job positions than there are applicants to fill them with. So China is definitely a great place to start out as an English teacher or even for long-term career, whatever you like. Definitely, yes, lots of opportunities in China. Okay, so getting hired without an interview, how can we avoid this scam? All right, so, well, should the employer not interview you? It is very safe to assume that the job is fake and you should just walk away, just walk away. But if you feel like, you know, it might actually be genuine, you should request an interview with the employer and then see what they say. If they don't offer you an interview, but chances are like this, if they hire you without an interview, it's just a big no-no. But like I said, if you still feel like, you know, I want to give it a chance, ask them for an interview and then go from there and see what they say. Right? Okay, cool. And then we have scam number four. All right, and this is also a very, very big red flag. If this happens, it's not allowing you to speak with current teachers. So a lot of the time when you want to work at school, this is part of your deciding process, decision process, basically. You want to speak with teachers who are currently teaching at that school to get to know them. They might be your future, you know, colleagues, or just to get a feel for like the work culture and like how is that school in general. So it's always a great idea to ask for that, to ask for, you know, can I speak with any current teachers there? And should an employer refuse to let you speak with teachers currently working at the school? It raises a red flag. There most likely aren't any current teachers there because the school doesn't exist. Now granted, if it's a really small school, there might only be one teacher, but still like there should be at least one. Or if it's a new school and it hasn't even started yet, then I guess, yes, I could see that happening where they're like, oh, sorry, we're new. We don't have any teachers. You're like, oh, okay. I guess that would be a scenario where it could not be a scam. But other than that, you should always ask for, you know, speaking with current teachers there. So what can we do in this case? If they don't allow you to speak with current teachers, you should ask the employer why it is not possible to speak with a current employee and see what they say. And if, you know, they are concerned about any, about giving out personal information about their teachers, what you can do in that case is you give them your information like your Instagram ID, your Facebook, your email address, whatever it may be, and then you ask them to contact you. So they can navigate that without giving you personal information, if that makes sense. Okay, there is a question. Let me just take this question. So Nara is asking, I'm currently taking up the 120 hour TEFL course, want to work in China. So how would I get a chance to work there? And when should I apply for a job? And what visa is needed? I'm from India. Okay, great question. And also congratulations on taking the 120 hour TEFL course. That is awesome. Yeah. So like I said, China is the biggest market for teaching English as a foreign language is the biggest market for teaching English as a foreign language. And it's also still a great place to go and teach there if you're not a native English speaker, right? So people from all different backgrounds and countries are able to get hired in China. So my advice would be to do a lot of research, you know, figure out where in China maybe you want to be. And then there's also a lot of great, great TEFL recruiters. And I can actually share our partner site. We have different if I can find it, different partners, hold on, that we work with in their recruiters, recruitment agencies in China. And so we have been working with them for a long time. So those are very reputable recruiters. You can reach out to all of them. And they will help you get a job in China. I'm posting this one, this link into the comment section now. So you can check it out. It's this one. It's TEFL course.net slash EFL minus ESL minus jobs. So and they will be able to help you with, you know, what documents you need and visa and things like that. So definitely possible. Also from, yeah, also from Algeria. Someone's asking I have the same question like NAR, but I'm actually from Algeria. I'm currently taking the 220 hour course with tutor support. Great. Yeah. So same answer. Check out. And actually, after you finish the course, you will receive lifetime job support. So you would speak with one of our post course coordinators, and they will help you find a job in the location that you want. And they will put you in touch with our TEFL recruitment partners as well. You'll receive a whole bunch of information about jobs, especially if you tell tell the coordinator, hey, I want to work in China. They will give you specific information for China and a lot of resources and networks you can reach out to. Sure. Okay. So I think this is the last scam that I wanted to talk about. Yes. Okay. Awesome. So now it's time to open up the Q&A officially if you have more questions. And also I'm going to share the 30% off link in the comments if you are not able to scan the QR code. So again, you can just go ahead and scan this code, or you can use one of these links here on Facebook or on YouTube. So that's TEFLcourse.net slash apply slash question mark C U equals and then face FB live minus Linda. It's a little complicated, but you just click on this link. It leads you straight to our TEFL application page. And you can fill out the application or you can just come back later. You can check out the website. And then once you know what kind of course you want, you can come back to this link and you can sign up and get 30% off. That's a very, very big discount. So you want to take advantage of that. Chibi says darn it, I missed it. I know it was good. Are you talking about this live session? Yeah. Today was a bit of a quicker one, I think. But yeah. So we were talking about TEFL scams. You can probably tell from the title somewhere. Yeah. But so I would really like to invite you guys, anyone, and I mentioned this a few times, but I know there's some new people joining us. So if anyone of you has a story about a TEFL scam, I invite you to share it in the comments, share it with all of us so we can all learn from your experience and know what to look out for. Obviously, if you don't have a TEFL scam story, that's great. But if you do, it would be awesome if you could share it so that we can all benefit from it. Also, if not, that's fine. If you have any other questions about TEFL or TESOL teaching abroad, I'm in South Korea. If you have questions about that, let me know. Now is your time to ask, basically. And yeah, I also want to say that you can always watch the replay of all of our live sessions. They don't disappear after the live is over. So once the live is over, it is saved either on our YouTube channel in our live section or on Facebook in our video section. And you can check it out there. You can always re-watch. I also encourage you to re-watch older episodes. Like I said last week, we did a good one about the 15 most asked questions during a TEFL interview. That was really interesting. I also talked about, you know, what it's like to go abroad alone as a woman. Tips for that. That was a really good topic. I talked about the different courses, of course, at ITTT. One time I showed you all the online course platform live and how it works and everything, what it looks like. So things like that. So if you're interested, re-watch. And like I mentioned, my colleague Lisa, she always, let me make myself bigger again. My colleague Lisa, she goes live every Tuesday and she's from Russia. She's a Russian English teacher. So she talks a lot about the non-native English speaking teacher side, which is very, very interesting. And she knows a lot more about that than I do as a native English teacher. So I think that's why our live sessions are so great because you can get two perspectives from a native English teacher and a non-native English teacher. And so our lives are very different, very different topics. There's a lot of variety. So if you have time, you know, tune in on Tuesdays as well. Tune in on Fridays with me or Thursdays, depending on where you are. And, you know, it's a great resource, free resource. And then you even get 30% discount links. Like, it's great. It's awesome. So let me know. Any questions that you guys have? That's why I'm here for anything. There are no stupid questions. Okay, I want to just mention that. Okay, Juliana says, I did not meet a TEFL scam before, but I met a tutoring scam four years ago. Oh, what was the tutoring scam? I mean, that's probably similar. So if you like, share your story with us. That'd be interesting. I know that some of us, when we go abroad to teach a lot of teachers, they take on tutoring gigs to, you know, make some extra money, supplement the income. So we also want to be aware of any tutoring scams. That's interesting. Awesome. Please let us know more if you want to share. Another one from Good Person. I love this name. But anyway, he says, he or she says, Linda, if any school asks for any certificate to prove that I have a good level in English language, can I prove that using my bachelor's degree in English language or master's degree in English language that I have from my country? Okay. Actually, my colleague Lisa did a great live session about that. I think it was this week on Tuesday about English language certificates. So I highly recommend you check that out. It's on our YouTube channel. It's on our Facebook. If you look on the page, you know, the main page and you scroll down a bit, you'll see my lovely colleague there. My lovely colleague there. And you'll see her and she did a live about that. So she knows all about that. And I think it's definitely a plus if you also have one of the official, you know, the big recognized English proficiency certificates like IELTS. What else is there? Lisa's doing, what is it called? Sea Pet? I'm not sure. Watch her live. She knows all about that. So I recommend tuning into Lisa. Lisa's live from Tuesday. If you scroll down on our Facebook page, you'll see it. Okay. Good stuff. Good stuff. I wanted to say something and now forgot again. Anyway, oh, yes. One thing I wanted to mention. So besides our live sessions, we always turn these live events into podcast episodes. So if you're a person who likes podcasts, you know, the audio only format, this might be really, really great for you. So you can go on iTunes, on Google podcasts, on Spotify, you type in ITTT or ITTT Teflon podcast, something like that, and it will show up. It's called the Teflon TESOL podcast by ITTT. And all of our previous live sessions are on there as well as podcast episodes. And we just recently hit 1000 podcast episode downloads. Super exciting. So yay us. Yeah. If you're interested in that, I recommend it. All right. Now we are 45 minutes and almost. Good timing. I still have a little bit of time if you want to ask some questions, ask away. Now is your opportunity or you have to wait another week to do so. Yeah. Just checking the comments. If I missed anything, I don't think I have. But yeah, a lot of you guys are currently taking Teflon courses. That's great. I think now is a great time to do that. Now is a great time to take a Teflon course. And even despite the pandemic, schools are still hiring. So I have a lot of friends who just recently came to South Korea to start teaching. Schools are still hiring. So don't think like everything's over. It's not actually, you know, moving abroad as a teacher is one of the one of the few ways that you can actually travel long distance now at the moment. Because you will be, you will have a work visa, a long term visa. So you're actually are able to enter the country. So just throwing that out there. All right. I see there's still a lot of people watching, but you're just quiet or maybe you're typing a lot. That's okay. I'll wait a little bit. No, but just kidding. Also, if you have any suggestions about topics we can talk about during the live sessions in the future, also please, please write down your recommendations or your ideas in the comment section. That would be really awesome. We always appreciate it. All right. Well, if nobody has any additional comments or questions, I think we might sign off here. Just going to give it a few more seconds, like I said, because there is this delay between me talking and you guys seeing it. So I want to give everybody the opportunity to ask, you know, a question. So that's what I want to do. And don't forget the 30% off link guys. Don't forget. It's a great deal. And let me just make that or let me just paste the discount link one more time into the comment box so that everybody can see here. And if you're listening to this on the podcast, it will be in the description. The link. So you can also take advantage of 30% off as a podcast listener. No problem. All right. I guess, yeah, I see people are already signing off. So I guess this is our time to say goodbye. And yeah, if you have any other questions, you know, later on, don't be afraid, just let us know. You can also reach out to me directly via social media at Linda Ghost East. Feel free to say hi, send me a message on Instagram if you want. I really appreciate it. And then yeah, I'll see you guys next week again. I hope you have a fabulous weekend and a great week. And I hope you tune in again next Friday. I'm sure we'll have a new and exciting topic waiting for you. And also don't forget to join my co-worker Lisa and her live sessions on Tuesday. Like I said, she's a non-native English speaker from Russia who has an amazing teaching career. I hope you found this session helpful. You know, I hope you found it helpful. I'm sometimes I'm just rambling and I feel like maybe I don't make sense, but I hope it was all right. Thank you, Juliana. Juliana says, thank you for this session and have a nice day. Thank you guys. Also have a nice day. And I hope to see you next week again. Stay happy, stay healthy, and I see you next time. And for anyone who's taking a TEFL course at the moment, you know, good luck with your course and we highly appreciate your support. And yeah, you know, keep joining us for our live sessions and ask us questions. There are no stupid questions. Not at all. We are here to help you guys and to guide you through, you know, the sometimes very confusing world of TEFL teaching. So absolutely. All right. Here, you said, thank you, Lynn and Lisa. It is very useful. Oh, great. So you've watched Lisa's before as well. That's awesome. Take advantage of all the resources that you can get for sure. Oh, we have Hegma Tula again. Hi. I'm just signing off now. The session is already over. Please watch the replay. Or maybe you have watched and just didn't say hi. I can see like, I can see how many people are watching, but I can't see who is watching. So unless you say hi, you write a comment, I cannot see your name. So but anyway, thank you so much. And I hope to see you again next week. Again, stay happy and healthy. And I'm signing off now for real. I don't want to keep on rambling. So this is it guys. Thanks so much for watching.
