Success Guide
You will be working at the back door of a busy Pick n Pay store in Atlantis, so show the hiring team that you understand what receiving really involves. In your CV, highlight your receiving supervisor experience and mention specific things like checking stock, handling returns, keeping the cold chain intact and completing receiving paperwork. If you have worked with shrinkage control, safety procedures or back door security, say so.
For an interview, expect questions about how you would handle incorrect deliveries, damaged stock, or a supplier who arrives late. Be ready to talk about how you stay organised and calm under pressure, because receiving areas get busy and the weather does not always help. Also make it clear that you are comfortable with the physical side of the job and flexible hours. Bring your Matric certificate and CV as proof when the time comes.
