Clean spills fast and put up wet-floor signs

Build promotional displays at the ends of aisles

Honest, since stock losses are checked closely
Polite with customers and happy to help
Basic reading and maths for price checks

Chance to move into till or department roles

Applying, step by step

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): ID document or smart card, with a certified copy, matric results or last school report plus CV with the days and times you can work.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 7 working days.

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

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.
Hand your CV in at the store in person, early in the week, and ask for the store or receiving manager by name.
