SetaJobs role guide
What working a till or a shop floor actually involves
SetaJobs’ guide to cashier and shop assistant posts in South Africa, written for someone applying for their first one.
Employers screen for accuracy with money and for temperament in front of a queue. Expect a short numeracy test, a criminal record check, and questions about how you would handle an angry customer or a suspected shoplifter. Availability is the quiet screen that decides more hires than anything else: applicants who can work Saturdays, Sundays and December get called first.

What this kind of post involves
A permanent post is ongoing employment with no end date, carrying full benefits and, in the public service, a defined salary level with annual notch progression. These are advertised competitively and the selection process is considerably more formal than for programme placements.
How permanent posts work: the week, the qualification and where it leads →Watch out for this
The screening is mechanical and happens before anyone reads your CV: the advert’s own application instructions are applied as written, and an incomplete or unsigned form is discarded whatever the rest of the application says.
