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

Do not wear jewellery or long nails to the interview if it is on site. Food factories notice and it counts.
Mention that you can work rotating shifts right at the top. It is the first thing most factories filter on.
