Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): matric certificate, PSIRA certificate and ID copy plus loss prevention or investigation course certificates.

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

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 you know the legal limits of search and arrest. A single unlawful arrest can cost a store badly, so they will ask about it.
Keep your appearance low-key for the interview. Detectives need to blend in with shoppers.
