Description
MediaWorld will recruit approximately 100 sales assistants for stores across Italy as part of an ambitious growth plan including new outlet openings nationwide.
Recent inaugurations include new stores in Romagnano Sesia (Novara), Santa Vittoria d'Alba (Cuneo), and Romano di Lombardia (Bergamo), developed through partnership with Bennet hypermarket chain.
Current recruitment targets both newly opened stores and established locations requiring additional personnel. Sales assistant positions are available across most Italian regions, including provinces such as Palermo, Rome, Milan, Bologna, Turin, Florence, Naples, and many others. The roles involve supporting customers during purchases and assisting store managers with point-of-sale operations
