Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.

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

Name the industries and deal sizes you have handled, not only your job titles.
Show target versus actual for each of your last three years; B2B managers skip CVs without numbers.
