    Happy to see you’re still uploading. Just so you know: if you upload at the pace you do it’s normal you don’t get as much exposure as people who upload daily for example. I am just saying that because you were doing a Q&A where you were talking about not many people watching. It is definitely not the lack of good content😉.
    I still think it is a decent amount of views man. Inshallah your subscribers wil gradually go up.
    Cant wait to see egypt myself. I am 21 and have to learn arabic and I’m planning to go the end of this year. Your videos are(were) very helpful in my planning.

Jazakallah khayr for the reminder bro it’s much appreciated and if I’m still in Egypt when you come let me know if I can help in any way. Btw there’s a channel called make Hijrah which gives info on visas in Egypt and stuff. Check it out in sha Allah.

    My only question is, do you think its easier to get a job AFTER arriving in Egypt (walk-ins, self introductions, visiting organizations & etc)? Or do you feel the best way to get a job is to apply online and wait for a response
    for an interview? The reason I ask is because although I have a Masters degree in Education, I have not received any responses from regular job opportunities as well as teaching opportunities.

    • @AbuSamraTheExpat

      It depends on a number of things such as the website/platform you apply on, when you apply etc. I remember sending my CVs in while I was on holiday and I didn’t get a call back. Sometimes the HR department can be a bit Incompetent so try sending your CV to someone in the school and they can get it directly to the owners.

    • @AbuSamraTheExpat
      @AbuSamraTheExpat  3 года назад

      وعليكم السلام
      Cambridge themselves didn’t reject me it was the centre I applied to. I couldn’t even ask for feedback. I’m British born and raised so it didn’t have anything to do with my language but maybe my knowledge of grammatical rules. The institution I applied for (international house) are known to have a rigorous selection process. I guess you could say it was my fault because I should’ve prepared well for it but I applied one day before the deadline and rushed it instead of taking the time to learn some grammar and make sure my application was up to standard. It ended up working well for me because on the CertTESOL we covered grammar and phonology so that helped a lot. Plus the CertTESOL is just as intense, informative and rewarding as the CELTA and both are 120 hours with observations. Their modules are almost identical as well.
