Mistakes to avoid

  1. Leaving out numbers

    Even entry-level warehouse jobs have metrics. Ask your supervisor for your rate if you don't know it.

  2. Skipping seasonal work

    Seasonal jobs show experience and, if you were kept on, reliability.

  3. Not saying what you want next

    If you want forklift or lead roles, say so. Employers like people who want to grow.

Questions

Do I need experience to get a warehouse job?
Many entry-level roles train on the job. A short resume showing reliability and physical work experience helps.
Should I include certifications?
Yes. Pallet jack, forklift and OSHA training all help you stand out.
How long should my resume be?
One page. Keep it simple and focused on your most recent work.
