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

If you have picked before, say which crop and how many seasons. Farms rehire experienced pickers first.
Farms hire before the season starts, so apply four to six weeks early. Late arrivals often find the teams already full.
