What the job is: This is a seasonal sales assistant position at Foot Gear SA, a popular footwear and fashion retailer. The job is based in the Access Park store in Kenilworth, Cape Town. If you enjoy working with people, love fashion, and want to gain experience in retail, this could be a great opportunity for you. The role is temporary and runs from mid-November to 24 December 2026, making it perfect for students or anyone looking for a short-term job during the busy holiday season.

What you will do: As a seasonal sales assistant, your main job will be to help customers find the right shoes and clothing for their needs. You will assist them by showing them different styles, sizes, and colors, and making sure they leave happy with their purchases. Another important part of the job is providing excellent customer service, which means being friendly, helpful, and patient with everyone who walks into the store.

What you need: To apply for this job, you need to have at least a Grade 10 or matric certificate, though it is not strictly required if you have a positive attitude and the right skills. What matters most is that you have a friendly and energetic personality, enjoy talking to people, and have an interest in fashion and retail. Experience in retail is a bonus, but it is not necessary—this is a great chance to gain your first hands-on experience in the industry.

Since this is a seasonal role during the holiday period, you must be available to work weekends, public holidays, and other busy times, such as the lead-up to Christmas. Flexibility and a willingness to work hard during peak hours are essential.

What you will get: While this job is about earning money and gaining experience, you will also learn valuable skills that can help you in future careers. You will develop customer service abilities, teamwork skills, and a deeper understanding of retail operations. Working with a fun and fast-paced team can make the experience enjoyable and rewarding.
