Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Atlantis really suit you before you apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): your latest school results or matric certificate, food handler or HACCP certificate if you have one plus ID copy, certified within the last three months.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 7 working days.

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

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

Do not wear jewellery or long nails to the interview if it is on site. Food factories notice and it counts.
Mention that you can work rotating shifts right at the top. It is the first thing most factories filter on.
