What the job is: This is a seasonal sales job at Foot Gear SA, a retail store specializing in footwear. The position is based in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town, Western Cape. If you enjoy working with people, love fashion, and want to gain experience in retail, this could be a great opportunity for you. The job runs from mid-November to 24 December 2026, so it’s perfect for students or anyone looking for temporary work during the holiday season.

What you will do: As a Seasonal Sales Assistant, your main job will be to help customers find the right shoes for their needs. You’ll assist them by showing different styles, sizes, and brands, ensuring they leave happy with their purchase. Another big part of the job is providing excellent customer service—being friendly, helpful, and patient with every customer.

You’ll also promote the store and its products, talk about new arrivals, share deals, or help with in-store displays. Keeping the store tidy is important, so you’ll restock shelves, organize products, and ensure everything looks neat. Handling sales at checkout includes processing payments, managing returns/exchanges, and keeping the till ready.

Learning about products is key—knowing what’s available, brands, and special features helps assist customers better. Working as part of a team means supporting colleagues, following store rules, and contributing to a positive environment. During the holiday season, you may also help with holiday displays or promotions.

What you need: To apply, you need at least a Grade 10 or matric certificate (though not strictly required if eager to learn). The most important qualities are a positive attitude and energy—retail can be fast-paced, so staying cheerful and motivated is essential. Enjoying work with people, having an interest in fashion/shoes, and being comfortable talking to customers are crucial. Experience in retail is helpful but not required—willingness to learn and work hard matters most. Availability for weekends, public holidays, and peak trading times (including evenings) is mandatory.

What you will get: This job offers money and experience, along with valuable skills like customer service, teamwork, and sales. The team at Foot Gear SA is known for being fun and supportive, helping you succeed. There’s also a chance for future opportunities within the company if you perform well.
