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.

Tips to get shortlisted

Mention the fruit you have packed before and how many seasons. Packhouses rehire the fast, careful packers.
Apply before the season starts, often a month before first harvest. Recruiting days fill up fast.
