Success Guide
This is a fantastic opportunity if you are comfortable working on the road and connecting with people in informal trade. When you apply, make sure your CV clearly shows any sales experience you have, even if it was informal or part time. Highlight your ability to speak isiXhosa if you can, as this is strongly preferred. Also mention if you know the Overberg area well or have existing relationships with spaza shops. The company provides a vehicle and fuel, so you do not need your own car but you must have a valid, unendorsed driver's licence. Be ready to record a short 30 second video if you are shortlisted. In the interview, they will likely ask about your sales approach and how you handle rejection. Show your energy and persistence. Good luck!
