What to highlight in your resume
Start with the vacancy and compare it with your real experience. Put the most relevant tasks near the top of each job entry. Name the systems and equipment you genuinely use, such as handheld scanners, WMS software, pallet trucks or forklifts. If you include productivity numbers, give enough context to make them credible, for example an average per shift or an accuracy rate measured over a defined period.
Skills worth including
- Order picking and packing
- Inventory checks and cycle counts
- Handheld scanners and WMS
- Goods receiving and replenishment
Keep only skills you can explain with a real example from work, training or a project.

If this is your first job
If this is your first warehouse job, use related experience from retail stockrooms, moving, production, delivery work or practical training. Describe the physical and organisational tasks you performed instead of claiming warehouse experience you do not yet have.
What to avoid
Do not list licences or equipment you have only seen other people use. Name the exact equipment you can operate and keep certification details accurate and current where the role requires them.
Check your resume before sending it
- Put the experience most relevant to the vacancy near the top.
- Check dates and contact details, so the employer can reach you and your timeline is consistent.
- Remove numbers, skills or responsibilities you could not explain in an interview.
- Copy text from the exported PDF into a plain editor to confirm it remains readable.
- Read it on mobile and look for broken lines, awkward page breaks and sections that are hard to scan.
