Job Description

Start in retail here: a hardware and building store in Kariega trains packers who show up and work neat. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The site is in Kariega; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

The work, day to day

  • Unpack deliveries in the receiving area and sort by aisle
  • Pack shelves from the back, rotating older stock to the front (first in, first out)
  • Visit several stores on a merchandising route and send photos of shelves
  • Weigh, bag and price fruit and vegetables
  • Collect trolleys from the parking lot
  • Put up price tickets and promotion shelf strips
  • Clean spills fast and put up wet-floor signs

Must-haves

  • Available for weekends, month-end and public holidays
  • Able to stand and lift cases all shift
  • Polite with customers and happy to help
  • Grade 10 or matric
  • Basic reading and maths for price checks
  • Honest, since stock losses are checked closely

Helpful, not essential

  • Some till or cash-handling experience
  • Own transport for route merchandising jobs
  • Being 18 or older for liquor store roles

What you get

  • Paid training in store procedures
  • Chance to move into till or department roles
  • Staff discount on groceries

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): matric results or last school report plus CV with the days and times you can work.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 8 working days.

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

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

How to stand out

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