Job Description

Shoppers in East London judge a township shopping centre store by its shelves, and that is where you come in. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

This post is East London-based, with most of your time spent at a township shopping centre store.

What you'll actually do

  • Clean spills fast and put up wet-floor signs
  • Help customers find products and carry heavy items to cars
  • Weigh, bag and price fruit and vegetables
  • Check sell-by dates and pull expired stock for the manager
  • Pack shelves from the back, rotating older stock to the front (first in, first out)

What you need

  • Neat appearance and punctual
  • Honest, since stock losses are checked closely
  • Polite with customers and happy to help
  • Available for weekends, month-end and public holidays
  • Basic reading and maths for price checks
  • Grade 10 or matric

What you get

  • Chance to move into till or department roles
  • Staff discount on groceries
  • Travel allowance on merchandising routes
  • Paid training in store procedures

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): CV with the days and times you can work, ID document or smart card, with a certified copy plus matric results or last school report.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around East London.

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Stores fill weekend and night-fill slots first, so write "available weekends and nights" in your CV summary line.
  • If you have ever sold anything, even at a school tuck shop or a family stall, list it. It shows you are comfortable with customers.
