Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified copy of your matric certificate, certified copy of your driver's licence plus certified copy of your ID.

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

Recruiters check your licence first, so attach a clear certified copy and note any clean driving record.
Name the areas you know and the store types you have serviced (supermarket chains, independents, spazas) in your CV summary.
