Zach Moore to aisle five – you’re hired.
Thousands of online well-wishers were waiting with bated breath to hear whether Zach had secured his dream job at Kmart.
The 15-year-old is blind in one eye but like most kids his age just wanted his first part-time job.
Zach applied to more than 20 stores for a casual position, submitting his resume about a month ago.
His mother Lee-Ann Domeika took to social media to push his case and the entire country got behind him as he took the internet by storm.
Zach has since received a call from the department store giant telling him the good news.
His mum went online to thank Kmart – saying she was especially thrilled given his blindness and associated anxiety.
Adelaide teenager, Zach Moore (pictured), who is blind in one eye has captured the hearts of thousands across the nation after he was interviewed for a position at Kmart
‘Just an update on Zach,’ Lee-Ann wrote in the Kmart Mums Australia Facebook group.
‘He definitely 100 percent has the job.
‘We are going in there to fill out employee forms and pick up his uniform.’
If that wasn’t a sweet enough deal already, Kmart went one step further for the Adelaide family.
His mother, Lee-Ann Domeika, took to the Kmart Mums Australia Facebook group to thank the discount retailer for giving her son the opportunity of an interview
Zach’s brother Cameron, 14, who also applied for a job with the retailer will be joining the team.
‘As a bonus his younger brother who also applied for a job got offered one too,’ Lee-Ann explained.
Previously, Lee-Ann had posted in the group admitting she was thrilled her son had been given the opportunity.
‘I just want to thank Kmart for accepting my blind son’s job application and giving him an interview,’ the post read.
‘He is blind in one eye and has anxiety issues. He did work experience at Coles and liked the idea of stacking shelves… So fingers crossed he gets a job.’
After having had Zach’s (second from right) application accepted, Kmart also invited him for an interview
Speaking to FEMAIL, Zach’s mother said they had applied to ‘Coles, a newsagent, two different fruit and vegetable stores, two sports stores and a pet store’.
But Kmart was the first to reach out.
‘Zach was born with a rare form of microphthalmia, which means “small eye”,’ Lee-Ann explained.
Zach needs to have a prosthetic eye inserted every two years, because his eyeball never grew properly.
Because the prosthetic eye looks like a ‘marble’, he has been the target of bullies.
‘It’s the lesser of two evils. He also has anxiety and something called disgrahphia, which is an inability to write coherently,’ his mother said.
‘Fingers crossed he gets a job,’ Lee-Ann (pictured) said
‘But he can charm the pants off anyone, loves ten-pin bowling, watching footy and gaming consoles.
‘He wants to work as a topographer and loves to study maps, street directories and find the shortest distances between things.’
Zach came to his mother and asked if he could leave school once he turned 16 but she argued it was better he stay and finish the year out.
Lee-Ann, who only posted about his original interview as a sign of appreciation, said she had been moved by the number of parents who had reached out in support.
‘Never did we expect the wonderful and very large words of encouragement and love from all you lovely mums/dads,’ she wrote online.
‘I think it is a good thing to promote more places to hire disabled people.’
