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

  • Government-funded projects often reserve jobs for people from the local ward. Bring proof of address and ask the site office about the local labour desk.
  • List past sites by name and what you did there, like "mixed concrete, laid kerbs". It proves you have done real site work.
