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.

Build one public portfolio dashboard on a South African open data set if you have no work samples to share.
Put SQL and your BI tool in the first line of your CV; these are the keywords every data recruiter searches.
