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

  • Expired codings are the number one reason welders are turned away at the gate. Check dates before you apply.
  • List each coding separately with the standard, process, position and expiry date. "Coded welder" on its own tells a recruiter nothing.
