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.

Tidy your public repos before you apply; recruiters and tech leads really do open them.
Start your CV with your stack in one line, such as "C#, .NET 8, SQL Server, Azure", then your years on it.
