Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Gqeberha really suit you before you apply.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: copy of your driver's licence, your qualifications plus a recently certified ID copy (within 3 months).
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.

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

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

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