How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Families hire on trust, so make references your strongest part. Write the employer's name, suburb, years worked and phone number for each one.
Ask for a written contract and to be registered for UIF. Good employers expect the question and it protects you.
