Check out the job openings on the official Shoprite website.

- Search for jobs by region, area, or keyword.
- Submit your application online.

Step-by-step guide to applying correctly
Below is a practical guide to help you avoid common mistakes and complete your application with more confidence.
Access the official careers portal.
Always start by visiting the official Shoprite website – www.shopriteholdings.co.za/careers
Avoid unverified links or pages that promise "quick access" in exchange for payment.
On the portal, you will be able to see the open positions and read the requirements clearly.
Create your candidate profile
To apply, you usually need to create a profile with basic information, such as:
- Full name
- Valid email
- Phone number
- Region where you live
Use an email address that you check frequently.
If possible, turn on notifications so you don't miss important messages.
Look for job openings that match your profile.
In the portal, you can:
- Filter job openings by city or province.
- Search by job title (e.g., cashier, shelf packer, store assistant)
- Check if the position is permanent, temporary, or part-time.
Read the description carefully and see if the location makes sense for you.
If the job posting requires shift work, assess whether you can fulfill those hours.
Submit your application online
After selecting the job opening, follow the instructions on the portal itself.
In general, you will be able to:
- Attach a resume (CV)
- Fill in additional information
- Confirm schedule availability.
Review your information before submitting.
An incorrectly typed phone number or email address can prevent contact.
What to prepare before applying
Being prepared makes things much easier, especially for entry-level positions.
Before accessing the portal, try separating:
- Simple and up-to-date resume
Use a concise format, demonstrating experience (even if informal) and basic skills. - Correct contact information
An up-to-date phone number and email address are essential. - Time availability
Many positions require shifts, weekends, and alternative schedules. - Basic documents
Only send what is requested in the official announcement.
If the portal asks for attachments, check if the file will open on your mobile phone.
Do I need experience to work at Shoprite?
It depends on the position.
Many entry-level roles do not require prior experience, especially in retail.
Even so, experiences such as customer service, punctuality, teamwork, and organization can be helpful.
If you lack experience, highlight short courses, informal jobs, and activities that demonstrate responsibility.
Can I apply using my cell phone?
Yes.
The career portal typically works on mobile devices, allowing users to create a profile, search for jobs, and submit applications.
To avoid problems:
- Use a stable connection
- Please check that the CV is legible.
- Avoid sending very large files.
- Read everything carefully before confirming.
What happens after I submit my application?
After submitting, you can see a status update on the portal itself, depending on the system.
If the company moves forward with your profile, contact usually happens via email or phone.
Not all applications receive a response.
Therefore, it's normal to apply for more than one compatible job and keep your profile updated.
Practical tips to increase your chances
Some simple actions help a lot:
- Apply only for jobs that match your profile.
- Adjust your CV to highlight skills similar to the job opening.
- Show flexibility in shifts, if you have it.
- Keep your registration complete and up to date.
- Avoid applying repeatedly for the same position if the system does not recommend it.
Beware of unofficial information.
Be wary of:
- Websites that charge application fees
- Messages requesting sensitive data outside of the official portal
- Promises of guaranteed employment
Shoprite only advertises job openings through official channels.
If in doubt, return to the portal and check the information directly there.
