There are no special qualifications required to work as a general worker, but if your chosen sector requires specific certificates or training, these will have to be obtained before finding employment.
Why do businesses hire General Workers?
In any business, there is always a need for general workers. These are unskilled and semi-skilled individuals who don’t have specific qualifications or experience. While a formal qualification isn’t necessary for these positions, it doesn’t hurt if you have one – as long as your CV doesn’t reflect your lack of practical experience in your chosen industry.
Besides just having no special requirements, most businesses will not require that candidates be presentable or even awake when coming to work! This means that you can get hired without having to worry about meeting their expectations on how they want their employees to look.
For example, maybe they want all their employees to wear a uniform but you would prefer not to; with a general worker position, they won’t care either way!

Being a general worker usually means that a candidate is an all-rounder. So, if you’re looking for a job as a general worker, there are certain requirements and skills that are generally expected of all applicants.
