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.

Farms hire before the season starts, so apply four to six weeks early. Late arrivals often find the teams already full.
Have your bank details ready. Most farms pay into a bank account and will not start you without it.
