How to apply

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Johannesburg CBD; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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.

Before you hit apply

Name the products you worked on before, like "biscuit line" or "juice bottling". Factory recruiters read that faster than a job title.
Mention that you can work rotating shifts right at the top. It is the first thing most factories filter on.
