Job Description

Customers bring their problems to your counter at a mall cellular store in Pietermaritzburg, and leave with answers. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

You'll be based at a mall cellular store in Pietermaritzburg. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

The work, day to day

  • Log complaints and pass them to the store or branch manager.
  • Process returns, exchanges and credit notes under the Consumer Protection Act.
  • Do SIM swaps and RICA registrations with proper ID checks.
  • Greet customers, find out what they need and manage the queue ticket system.
  • Call customers when repairs or orders are ready to collect.
  • Track parcels, reissue waybills and arrange redelivery at the counter.
  • Take payments, balance your till and bank cash at close.

Must-haves

  • Retail hours, including Saturdays, Sundays and month-end
  • Matric (Grade 12) certificate
  • You can stay polite with a long queue watching
  • Presentable and approachable with all kinds of customers

Helpful, not essential

  • Medical scheme or insurance product knowledge
  • RICA and cellular product knowledge

What's in it for you

  • Fixed roster published two weeks ahead
  • Product training and certifications paid for
  • Staff discount on products
  • Monthly sales incentive on upgrades and add-ons

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): a CV with a recent reference from a retail or service job, a recently certified ID copy (within 3 months) plus certified copy of your Grade 12 certificate.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 9 working days.
