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.

How to stand out

Mention underground or flameproof experience clearly. It separates mine-ready artisans from factory artisans.
State your trade and the machines or equipment you know best, for example "fitter: conveyors, crushers and pumps".
