  • Keep aisles clear of plastic, cardboard and loose pallets

Nice if you have

How to apply for this job

  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): short CV with a working cellphone number plus copy of your highest school report or matric certificate.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • If you have done any stock counts, packing or even shelf work before, list it first. It shows you already know how to handle stock.
  • Put your cellphone number and the area you live in at the very top of your CV. Warehouse recruiters phone fast and hire people close by.
