Transcripts

Speaker:

There's a huge data job scam going on

right now, and no one is talking about it,

2

:

And honestly, it's starting to

get outta control, so that's why

3

:

I'm gonna talk about it today.

4

:

If you're applying for data jobs, chances

are you will apply to multiple fake scam

5

:

data jobs no matter how hard you try.

6

:

And even if you don't actually

go out there and apply to fake

7

:

job scams, the fake job scams

are starting to come to you now.

8

:

These job scams, they're all over

the place, and if you're not careful,

9

:

you'll lose out on thousands of

dollars and hours of wasted time.

10

:

So in this episode, I'll explain

one, what these job scams are.

11

:

Two, what the job scammers are after and

how they actually make money with it.

12

:

And then three, a bunch of red flags that

you can try to use to identify these jobs

13

:

so you don't fall victim to the scams.

14

:

But first, if you're new here, welcome.

15

:

My name is Avery Smith.

16

:

I'm a senior data analyst and data

career coach, this is kind of your jam.

17

:

Make sure you hit the subscribe

button, whether you're listening

18

:

on podcast or watching on YouTube,

so that way more content like

19

:

this ends up in your algorithm.

20

:

All right, so in this new era, I

think hundreds of data jobs are

21

:

being posted online that are complete

scams and posted by scammers.

22

:

So where are these scams

actually taking place?

23

:

And the honest answer is

it's kind of everywhere,

24

:

but I think the most dangerous

one right now is the email.

25

:

So let's start there and take a look

at what a fake scam data job email

26

:

actually looks like from my own email.

27

:

Avery Smith-2: Dear Avery,

I hope you're doing well.

28

:

My name is Mike DeSantis and I'm a

talent acquisition specialist in the

29

:

aerospace industry with GE Aerospace.

30

:

I came across your profile and wanted

to reach out based on your strong

31

:

background in data science, analytics,

and data engineering across both

32

:

industry and research environments.

33

:

Your experience working as a data

scientist and data engineer along with

34

:

your prior roles supporting optimization

simulations and applied machine learning

35

:

aligns well with the data-driven

work we support at GE Aerospace.

36

:

So, so far this is all pretty accurate

because I have worked as a data analyst,

37

:

data scientist, and a data engineer.

38

:

Um, I have dealt with a bunch of

machine learning and optimization and

39

:

simulations, and I have worked in industry

and in academic research environments.

40

:

So this is really accurate so far.

41

:

Your hands on experience with

Python, sql, statistical analysis,

42

:

modeling, and data visualization

combined with exposure to engineering.

43

:

Focus.

44

:

Problem solving is particularly

relevant to teams supporting operational

45

:

analytics, advanced engineer programs,

and business decision support experience.

46

:

Working across both academic research

and the large enterprise environments

47

:

is also a strong fit for our

collaboration cross-functional teams.

48

:

I'd welcome the opportunity to connect

and share more about our current upcoming

49

:

data science and analytics opportunities

at GA Aerospace and learn more about

50

:

what you may be interested in exploring.

51

:

Next best regards, Mike Desant,

talent acquisition specialist.

52

:

So on first glance, this

email is, seems very good.

53

:

They know a lot about me, to be honest.

54

:

Like they had a very accurate picture of

what I've done in the past and my skills.

55

:

Um, and it's like a really good fit for

me because if you're new, I actually

56

:

studied chemical engineering, so I was.

57

:

An engineer before I broke into data

science and I would really do well in

58

:

aerospace 'cause I understand engineering

and I obviously have a data science

59

:

background, so this job is actually

kind of a really good fit for me.

60

:

However, if you look closely, you're gonna

find out that this is a scam and I'll

61

:

actually show you how here right now.

62

:

So the biggest.

63

:

Giveaway basically in this whole thing.

64

:

'cause I actually think the copy of

the email is actually pretty good.

65

:

But the biggest thing is

right here, the email domain.

66

:

Any person working for a huge company

like ge, like multi-billion, maybe

67

:

a hundred billion dollar company, GE

is probably a hundred billion dollar.

68

:

I don't know.

69

:

They're going to have a GE email.

70

:

They're not going to have a gmail.com

71

:

email.

72

:

They're not gonna have an Outlook email

like anyone who's really going to be

73

:

emailing you and is actually serious, A

serious recruiter or HR person or anything

74

:

like that, they're not gonna be using.

75

:

Gmail, they're not gonna be using out

Outlook, they're not gonna be using Yahoo.

76

:

They're going to be using a domain

that's specific to their company.

77

:

So this is a dead giveaway right

here, that this is actually a scam.

78

:

Now, if you actually go and look at

this person on LinkedIn, and that's

79

:

always a really good idea, uh, to

do, is to try to find this person on

80

:

LinkedIn, which this person does exist.

81

:

You'll see him right here, Mike DeSantis.

82

:

He does indeed work as a

global HR executive at ge,

83

:

but what you'll find out here is really,

he's been working at GE since:

84

:

now he's an executive director, not even

just an executive, an executive director.

85

:

So the odds that this executive

director would be cold emailing me

86

:

when I've never applied for GE before

and I'm not looking for a data job.

87

:

I'm a data career coach, and

I'm very happy doing that.

88

:

It's like the best job ever.

89

:

It is pretty low.

90

:

So once again, a domain here

that doesn't make sense.

91

:

A LinkedIn page where this guy is

way too senior to be emailing me.

92

:

This whole thing is a scam.

93

:

Now we'll talk about what this person

is probably after here in a little bit,

94

:

but I just wanna show you that I get

a lot of these emails as you do too.

95

:

So for example, you can actually

see that Mike emailed me earlier.

96

:

Let's see, 13 days ago.

97

:

Nicole is emailing me here.

98

:

Once again a Gmail account, and this

is about some sort of Python SQL

99

:

machine learning data models role.

100

:

I worked at MIT.

101

:

Yes I did.

102

:

So they're, they're good.

103

:

They know what they're talking about.

104

:

Another one right here from a

Gmail account, it's the director

105

:

of Talent acquisition at.

106

:

The percentage, uh, group, company.

107

:

Um, let's see if I can

find you another one.

108

:

Susie, right here also wants to hire

me once again from a Gmail account.

109

:

Um, this one's kind of interesting

because it's a picture of her

110

:

and like her dog it looks like.

111

:

Um, and I don't think it's

very professional if you

112

:

click on her LinkedIn page.

113

:

Once again, her , LinkedIn page exists,

but like it's a different photo.

114

:

Like that's kind of interesting, right?

115

:

Um, also she's been working

at Qualcomm since:

116

:

Don't you think she would have a

Qualcomm email instead of this Gmail?

117

:

Right.

118

:

So this is a scam as well.

119

:

Basically these people are trying to

pretend to be someone that they're

120

:

not and they're trying to get

something from you, which is basically

121

:

money or information about you.

122

:

Avery Smith-3: Similarly, I

saw this, uh, post on LinkedIn.

123

:

Said, just got an email from Chris Zang

at beacon fire solution careers.com.

124

:

I assume this is a scammer and not you.

125

:

Sorry to hear that you're

identity keeps getting stolen.

126

:

Hope they stop soon.

127

:

And that actually led

128

:

Chris Zang to make a LinkedIn

post, uh, who is the director of

129

:

Digital Marketing at Beacon Fire

and say, . Hi LinkedIn Community.

130

:

I must write this post to help

everyone be aware of job scams.

131

:

Starting from last Friday, I have been

receiving LinkedIn InMails from folks,

132

:

who have received a job offer from me.

133

:

Apparently, there are some scammers

pretending to be me sending fake

134

:

job offers at Beacon Fire, such

as web developer to the community.

135

:

Once you sign the offer letter, they will

ask you for sensitive private information.

136

:

Please be aware this is a job scam.

137

:

If you're receiving anything,

please double check the email id.

138

:

My email address is ending

with beacon fire inc.com.

139

:

If the email ID is different

from this, please do not proceed.

140

:

It is a scam.

141

:

This is exploiting folks who have been

impacted by the layoffs during this time.

142

:

To everyone in the job search, be careful

and protect yourself from job scam.

143

:

Now this one was a little bit more

sophisticated because if you remember,

144

:

this email right here is from

beacon fire solution careers.com,

145

:

which is in a Gmail account.

146

:

It's not an Outlook account,

but it's not like the official

147

:

domain of Beacon Fire, right?

148

:

So this is another thing

that scammers will do.

149

:

They'll go buy domains that are

similar to what you might think.

150

:

The actual domain would be, so for

example, you might get an email from

151

:

someone who says they work for Google

and their domain is like google jobs.com

152

:

or google careers.com.

153

:

Anyone can go out there and buy any domain

that they want as long as it's available.

154

:

And so you can like create

for, for example, my company's

155

:

data, career dumpster.com.

156

:

I own that domain.

157

:

A scammer can watch this video and

buy data, career jumpstart careers.com

158

:

and pretend to be me, but

that's not my official domain.

159

:

Now, I will say there is a

little bit of a caveat here.

160

:

There's these things called

sub-domains that people use

161

:

on the front of their domain.

162

:

So for example,

163

:

if someone sent you an email from

careers dot beacon fire inc.com,

164

:

that would be okay if the change is

at the beginning, it can be okay.

165

:

Now, another thing that people do is they

actually try to make it look like there's

166

:

the actual domain at the beginning.

167

:

So it'll be like from.

168

:

Mike@google.com,

169

:

dot careers.com

170

:

or something like that.

171

:

So you have to be really careful

when you're looking at those

172

:

domains to make sure they actually

match what you think they do.

173

:

And when in doubt, maybe ask a

friend, a family member, maybe even

174

:

sending me a mail to the actual

person and be like, Hey, is this you?

175

:

If it is, let me know.

176

:

But otherwise, I think, uh, someone's

pretending to be you, and I think

177

:

they'll be thankful for it and

you'll be thankful for it as well.

178

:

Avery Smith-5: Now to go back to

these emails here, how did they

179

:

know so many things about me?

180

:

Like for instance, one of them

knew that I was a data coach.

181

:

I taught data engineering

basically at MIT.

182

:

How did they know that?

183

:

I know SQL and Python and I've done.

184

:

Optimization and simulation

and machine learning.

185

:

Well, the answer is my LinkedIn profile.

186

:

All that stuff is on my LinkedIn profile,

and they're probably using scraping.

187

:

They're basically scraping LinkedIn

to get information about you,

188

:

including your email, which is

somehow available on LinkedIn.

189

:

Don't ask me how that works.

190

:

There's like a setting, I don't know, but.

191

:

They're basically getting my email

and all my information about me via a

192

:

scraper, and then they probably have

some sort of automated processes to mass

193

:

send these emails to hundreds, if not

thousands of people to try to scam them.

194

:

Now what are they after?

195

:

We'll talk about that right after

we talk about the other place that

196

:

they're going to be trying to scam

you, which is actually on LinkedIn 10.

197

:

So if you've been subscribed to this

YouTube channel or this podcast,

198

:

or you've been subscribed to my

newsletter, wink, wink, that's

199

:

the best place to be subscribed.

200

:

You know that I like to talk about,

you're going to have to do more than just

201

:

apply for jobs to actually land a job.

202

:

There's this whole process called

the SPN method, S being skills,

203

:

P being portfolio, and being your

networking and career skills.

204

:

And part of your networking and career

skills is your ability to do things

205

:

that people aren't willing to do and to

network in ways that people aren't really.

206

:

Willing to network.

207

:

And one of the things I talk about

is the hidden job market, which is

208

:

basically you go on LinkedIn and

you type in hiring data analyst or

209

:

hiring analyst at the top right here.

210

:

And you go to the post and

you sort by the latest.

211

:

And then what this is gonna

show you is all the posts that

212

:

say the phrase hiring analyst.

213

:

And you'll see the most recent ones and

you'll be able to see who posted them

214

:

and you can send them cold messages

or pitch them on, Hey, I'm awesome.

215

:

You should hire me.

216

:

That's a whole different

topic for another day.

217

:

But if you do that, or if you're

just scrolling through LinkedIn,

218

:

you might see posts that look

like this from James Parker.

219

:

Now hiring at Alliance.

220

:

Next career move starts here.

221

:

Join the network, powering

the world's digital economy.

222

:

Sounds pretty great, right?

223

:

Or you might see a post that

looks like this from Victor.

224

:

We're hiring at Puma Group.

225

:

Join Puma Group, one of the

world's leading sportswear

226

:

and lifestyle companies.

227

:

Sounds good.

228

:

I'm in, right?

229

:

Like you might be interested in those

positions, but, I've done this so many

230

:

times that I can already tell right

off the bat that these are both scams.

231

:

And let me show you some of the

red flags that I'm seeing that.

232

:

Prove that this is, uh, a scam.

233

:

First off, once again, too high

of a position posting this, the

234

:

chief people officer, really that's

what the Chief People Officer is

235

:

doing, is posting job postings.

236

:

Doesn't seem likely when you click

on the more button here, you'll also

237

:

see that there is an outlook.com

238

:

email.

239

:

Oh, so the, the CPO is using just.

240

:

An Outlook domain and not

actually an alliance domain.

241

:

Not very likely.

242

:

In fact, 0% chance.

243

:

So this is obviously a scam right here.

244

:

I've also noticed that they've started to

repost some viral posts from someone else.

245

:

To try to get you to stop and

then you read it, and then

246

:

you're like, oh, I want a job.

247

:

I'm gonna apply for this.

248

:

Um, similarly also, a lot of the

times these, uh, these LinkedIn

249

:

profiles, they just look too good.

250

:

Like, like the, the pictures look like

they're just AI pictures of people.

251

:

So like James Parker, I don't

think this person actually exists.

252

:

He just looks like a guy.

253

:

Like look at, he's been like, he has

17 experiences, no bullet points.

254

:

His LinkedIn's just empty.

255

:

There's literally zero followers.

256

:

He's connected to no one.

257

:

You can just tell that this is a

fake profile, so this is just a fake

258

:

profile, and they posted a fake job.

259

:

On this one.

260

:

A lot of the times when they use images

that look like this, where it has like

261

:

the brand and it says we're hiring and

big, it's like people don't actually do

262

:

that when people are actually hiring.

263

:

It looks like this right here.

264

:

Um, now this is a recruiter, so

they're using like a notch Gmail

265

:

or not Outlook, but it's not like.

266

:

You probably have heard

of SGS consulting, right?

267

:

These are like what normal job

postings kind of look like.

268

:

We're hiring data

engineers at Puma Energy.

269

:

Like this is probably a real job.

270

:

Um, and you can kind of check

this person's LinkedIn if you

271

:

wanted to and try to confirm that.

272

:

But whenever you see a job

posting on LinkedIn, you should

273

:

be confirming who's posting it.

274

:

Does that person look real?

275

:

Does they actually work for the company?

276

:

And are there any sort of red flags?

277

:

So make sure you're doing that when

you're looking on LinkedIn, and you

278

:

can try to do it on other job boards.

279

:

It's a little bit harder.

280

:

We'll talk about some other red flags

you can look for later that will identify

281

:

these fake jobs on the platforms.

282

:

Okay.

283

:

Now that we kind of know where these

job scams are, let's talk about

284

:

what they're actually trying to do.

285

:

And to do that, I'm going to

actually read you a story that

286

:

someone sent me, about being scammed

basically, or almost scammed.

287

:

And I got a lot of these, some of

them are from my students inside of my

288

:

bootcamp, the Data Analytic Accelerator.

289

:

some of them are just from LinkedIn

followers or i'm gonna just read

290

:

it and I'll, uh, pop up the text on

YouTube if you're watching, but I

291

:

don't wanna screen share 'cause I

don't wanna show this person's name.

292

:

So, I created a profile on AngelList

293

:

(AngelList = Job Platform)

294

:

A so-called recruiter named

Sean Miller reached out to me

295

:

via text message and said this,

296

:

(Texts = Easy to Reach You)

297

:

This is Mr.

298

:

Leanne Clark.

299

:

(What is this person's name?)

300

:

Interview Manager / Corporate

Recruiter at Coordination Solutions.

301

:

(Generic business name)

302

:

We've retrieved your resume from

AngelList recruitment service

303

:

platform and your request from

a job placement is under review.

304

:

We're currently in the process

of setting up a team of business

305

:

analysts working remotely.

306

:

Please lemme know if you're

interested in the position.

307

:

Thank you.

308

:

Then there was an interview kind of

thing via Google Meet where they had a

309

:

few questions I had to answer via text.

310

:

This is a huge red flag.

311

:

If you are doing an interview, first

off, if the interview is like insanely

312

:

easy to get, almost like too easy,

it's probably too good to be true.

313

:

Uh, and then also if that interview

happens only via text, like via chat,

314

:

like you hop on Microsoft teams and they

won't show their face, they won't talk.

315

:

They're just talking to you via text.

316

:

That's a scam too.

317

:

That's another red.

318

:

Then they had some training

assessment every day at 9:00 AM.

319

:

They told me, they'd mail me a check

for signing bonus and equipments.

320

:

They sent a $4,850 check for me

to deposit in the nearest ATM.

321

:

I instead went to Chase Bank and

verified the check with them.

322

:

Turns out it was a fake check!

323

:

And the bank authorities told me they

will ask you to return half the money

324

:

back saying they overpaid and they'll be

in a loss that money's owed to the bank.

325

:

So basically they were

like, Hey, you got the job.

326

:

Here's some money for your equipment.

327

:

Here's some money for a

test you have to take.

328

:

And they might have you, like

for instance, cash, a bad check.

329

:

They might have you say, oh,

we meant to send only 2,500 and

330

:

then you have to return the rest.

331

:

Uh, it's just kind of unfortunate

that that's what they're trying to do.

332

:

They're basically trying to get

you to spend money on something

333

:

that you don't have to do.

334

:

Uh, another example that I

had from someone else that.

335

:

That messaged me said that they were

applying for a scrum master role and

336

:

that in order to like be qualified for

this role, they, they needed to do this

337

:

like certificate, and the certificate

was $400, but if they passed their

338

:

certificate, they basically had the job.

339

:

Or another one is, hey, you have to

verify yourself before we like move

340

:

you on in the interview process.

341

:

This check.

342

:

This identification check or Id

check cost you a hundred dollars.

343

:

Any identification check that a

business does during a job interview

344

:

process, they're gonna pay for it.

345

:

You're not gonna pay for it.

346

:

So don't ever pay for any of those things.

347

:

Those are all just scams to

try to get you to pay money.

348

:

The last thing these scammers are

trying to do is steal your identity.

349

:

So they'll try to get important

things like your social

350

:

security, your date of birth.

351

:

Your address, those types of things.

352

:

I'm less familiar with what they can

do with that, like stolen identity.

353

:

They can like basically return

taxes or try to get a tax

354

:

refund or something for you.

355

:

I don't know.

356

:

They can open up credit cards in

your name, those types of things.

357

:

So that's the other thing they're trying

to do is either trying to get money

358

:

from you or information to eventually

get money from you down the road.

359

:

All right, so we talked about

where these job scams are.

360

:

We talked about what they're trying to do.

361

:

Let's talk about how you cannot

fall victim to these things.

362

:

So the first thing I wanna show you

is I actually built something for you

363

:

that's going to help you with this.

364

:

Let me show you.

365

:

Avery Smith-7: So I built this

tool, it's called Data Fairy, and

366

:

I basically made it for you guys.

367

:

It's basically like if you're

trying to land a data job,

368

:

this should be your companion.

369

:

Um, you can try it out for free.

370

:

I think there's 50 free uses a month

right now, and then the paid plan is

371

:

only, I think 10 bucks a month and

it gets you access to like chat, GPT

372

:

Premium and all this other stuff.

373

:

But, uh, there's a bunch of different

tools that we built that basically

374

:

will help you with your job hunt

and becoming a data analyst.

375

:

One of the ones I really like is

the job scam analyzer that lets you

376

:

basically like put in any sort of job

post you find on LinkedIn, any sort of

377

:

message that you get from a recruiter

via email, and then run the scam check

378

:

here, and it'll actually tell you

if it's a scam or if it looks okay.

379

:

And I like that a lot because that's like.

380

:

A really easy accessible friend, basically

that's trained specifically on this.

381

:

, I gave it a bunch of rules and

red flags that I'll show you here

382

:

in a second to do this analysis.

383

:

So you could, like, for instance, if you

wanna know if this is actually a real

384

:

job or not, you could basically plug

that in into our job scam analyzer here.

385

:

So this is called Data Fairy.

386

:

Well the link to it in the show notes

down below, like I said, the free

387

:

version I think is very generous.

388

:

Um, so Data Fairy.

389

:

The next thing I wanted to

quickly show you and feel free to.

390

:

To screenshot this or, or jot these down.

391

:

Um, this is a lesson inside of my

bootcamp, the Data Analytics accelerator.

392

:

The lesson title is Job Scams

to look out for, and I wanna go

393

:

through some of these red flags.

394

:

Number one, signing a contract

before you get an offer letter.

395

:

Like basically signing anything,

asking for full address social

396

:

security or bank information,

, before or after, , an interview.

397

:

Unless like you've done multiple

interviews, poor grammar and spelling,

398

:

in any of the emails, they ask you

for an upfront fee on anything.

399

:

They ask you to deactivate your LinkedIn.

400

:

The number they call you from

is like a Google phone number.

401

:

They're extremely pushy.

402

:

The company like only

has one to two employees.

403

:

They say you need to purchase

something for the interview,

404

:

books, certificates, et cetera.

405

:

They say You need to buy home office

equipment with your own money, and they'll

406

:

send you a check later and then they'll

reimburse you or they say You need to

407

:

buy it specifically from this website.

408

:

The special vendor, they don't have

their video turned on in an interview

409

:

and they don't shut their face if

they contact you via text or WhatsApp.

410

:

Some more subtle red flags would be

like this is too good to be true.

411

:

The salary doesn't seem realistic.

412

:

They're basically offering

you a job right away.

413

:

The recruiter says they can

like help you for a fee.

414

:

Or they can help you and then

it ends up being a fee, I guess

415

:

is probably more accurate.

416

:

they don't wanna do any video calls.

417

:

They can't explain very much about

the interview or the company until

418

:

you actually get in the interview.

419

:

So hopefully these red flags are

helpful and these are the type of

420

:

lessons I try to include in the 400

different lessons I have inside of the

421

:

Data Analytics Accelerator, which is

basically designed to help someone go

422

:

from zero to landing their first data job.

423

:

We'll teach you all the skills.

424

:

We'll help you build a portfolio

with a bunch of projects on it and do

425

:

networking, career skills, LinkedIn

resume, all those good things to

426

:

actually help you land your first data

job if you're looking for a little bit

427

:

more help in landing your data job.

428

:

Please check us out,

data crew jumper.com/daa.

429

:

Link in the description down below.

430

:

The next thing I wanna tell you about

is premium data jobs, uh, dot com.

431

:

This is one of the job boards

that I, I actually run personally.

432

:

And all of these jobs are from

the hidden job market that

433

:

we talked about are earlier.

434

:

So by going hiring data analysts on

LinkedIn and finding these jobs that

435

:

were posted, you know, moments ago that

literally has the recruiter's name and.

436

:

Hopefully email and maybe even phone

number, at least their LinkedIn profile

437

:

that you can click on and apply to.

438

:

So for example, this is a business analyst

job in Florida for Disney experiences.

439

:

This was posted 21 hours ago.

440

:

If you go click apply now, you'll

actually see that recruiter's name.

441

:

You'll be able to see the Post you.

442

:

You'll see that you know, as.

443

:

Of 24 hours ago, this person did

not have enough candidates that

444

:

they felt like were qualified.

445

:

So you might be a good candidate

and you can actually send

446

:

this person a cold message.

447

:

You can comment on their LinkedIn

post with your portfolio or with some

448

:

sort of nice introduction message and

hopefully skip the whole a TS process

449

:

and actually just get an interview.

450

:

So all of these jobs that we source

at premium data jobs are from

451

:

LinkedIn, from the hidden job market.

452

:

But like I said earlier, the hidden

job market has, I would say, for

453

:

every one True job probably has.

454

:

Three scams for every one true job.

455

:

And I'd say three jobs that

just like are overseas, like in

456

:

India or something like that.

457

:

And so it sucks to go through and

actually find the jobs to yourself.

458

:

And so that's what me and my team do.

459

:

We make it easy that you don't have to

go through it, you just subscribe here.

460

:

So the latest 10 jobs are always free.

461

:

And then if you're interested in actually

getting more than 10 jobs and getting

462

:

some filters, um, we have some different

pricing plans that you can take a look at.

463

:

Now I've given you guys so

many different resources.

464

:

We talked about my newsletter.

465

:

We talked about, uh, my bootcamp, we

talked about premium data jobs.com.

466

:

We talked about my AI companion

data fairy, and all business people

467

:

and YouTubers and podcasters would

be like, you really shouldn't give

468

:

that many calls to actions in one

episode, and I probably shouldn't.

469

:

But the truth is, I really just

wanna help you and I'm hoping that.

470

:

One of those would be a

good solution for you.

471

:

I'm not trying to force you.

472

:

I'm really just like, these are resources

that I saw my students struggling with.

473

:

Like I saw my students get scammed

out of money, and so I've really

474

:

tried to build up a bunch of stuff.

475

:

So if they don't get scammed

out of money, and I'm just

476

:

sharing those resources with you.

477

:

So please, if you want a job

scam checker, go to Data Ferry.

478

:

If you want to actually

just get really good.

479

:

Nice data jobs that you can apply

for and talk to a recruiter.

480

:

Go to premium data jobs.

481

:

Uh, if you want more help on

your data journey, please go

482

:

to data crew jumpstart.com/da

483

:

and check out the bootcamp, whatever

ones is the right one for you.
