5 Warehouse Worker Resume Samples For 2021

Why this resume works

• Use quantifiable metrics on your warehouse worker resume. These numbers show a hiring manage the specific impact that you have had in previous jobs, and give them confidence in what you could provide for their business.
  • With physical labor jobs, sometimes it's hard to provide numbers, but it is worth it. Talk to previous managers before or after you leave a job and see if they can provide some statistics regarding your time with the company. 
    • You can also provide estimates on numbers like the weight of supplies you transported, the types of machinery you operated, customer reviews you received, awards, the number of items you handle per day (or time per item) as a measure of efficiency, and the number of co-workers you collaborated with. 
• Use your resume objective to personalize your resume. Give them a taste of your personality and what matters to you. Include your skills that are specific to the job you're applying to.
  • Make sure to specialize your resume objective for each job you apply to by including the company name and job title in each resume objective.

Why this resume works

• Hiring managers have very little time to review each resume. They don't want to search through a packet to see your work experience. Keeping your warehouse associate resume at one page will increase your chances of getting an interview by 8%.
  • Your resume skills section is a great place to quickly convince hiring managers to take your application seriously. To write your skills section, list 4 to 10 of your most applicable skills as short words and phrases.
    • Important skills for warehouse workers include coordination, time management, inventory control and documentation, equipment knowledge and maintenance, communication, and accurate data entry.

• You don't want to put any barriers between the hiring manager and a call for an interview, so it's important to make your contact information immediately accessible at the top of your resume.

Why this resume works

• Writing an entry level warehouse worker resume can be daunting, but it doesn't have to be. Just because you haven't worked in the field yet, doesn't mean you don't have the skills to do it. Review your previous work and highlight the skills that you know a warehouse is looking for. 
  • Your skills can be a great place to show that you can provide what they need, even though you don't have the job experience yet.
    • Focus on incorporating your skills into your work experiences. Even restaurant jobs, retail work, and volunteer experiences can highlight relevant warehouse work skills. 
      • In this resume, efficiency, time management, organization, and communication skills are clearly demonstrated.
• A career objective can be extremely helpful for an entry level resume. It takes up space on your resume, helping you reach a full page, and it gives you an opportunity to showcase your personality. It's the one place on your resume where you can address the reader in first-person!

Why this resume works

• Once you have experience in your field, your education becomes less important. On a warehouse manager resume, minimize your education section to make space for work experience bullet points.
  • Be detailed and elaborate on your skills through your job experiences, while simultaneously making sure to write succinctly. Writing short, punchy bullet points that do not skirt around your value and responsibility demonstrates confidence and leadership skills. This is not the time to be humble. Show them what you can do!
    • Having trouble? Make sure you're incorporating quantifiable metrics, starting each bullet point with an action word, and using the same tense throughout. 
• By keeping your resume neat and organized, you show a hiring manager that you have an eye for optimization. By relaying information quickly and effectively, you display valuable skills immediately.
• Especially in management and supervisor roles, it is important to quantify your impact in previous jobs. Use numbers and statistics to show how you directly improved the functioning, revenue, employee retention, etc.

Why this resume works

• This warehouse supervisor resume is packed with great work experience, but it doesn't overwhelm the reader. Your resume needs to fill space wisely.
  • Your resume should have 12-15 experience bullet points totaling 325+ words. Break down the tasks you completed in your previous work and expound on them to add some depth to your resume.
    • However, if you find that your bullet points are over 200 characters, you'll need to re-evaluate them by either eliminating superfluous information or breaking the bullet point into two separate bullet points.
      • Short (but plentiful) bullet points are engaging, whereas long sentences are dull for hiring managers to read.
• Management positions are about working with people. You need to inspire and make an atmosphere that will promote an exceptional work environment. Include previous experience that demonstrates your management style and values.
