Help with stock counts and point out loss hot-spots
Detain suspects lawfully and call SAPS, then write a statement

Tag high-value stock and check security tags at the doors

Must-haves

Show you know the legal limits of search and arrest. A single unlawful arrest can cost a store badly, so they will ask about it.
Give numbers on your CV: how many cases you opened, how many led to arrests. Retail security managers trust results.
