Tailoring your CV to the job offer

An online shop's warehouse looks for fast picking and work at sales peaks, a retail distribution centre for pallet deliveries to stores, and a production warehouse for supplying the lines. Move to the top what the job ad is about.

Questions and answers

What should a warehouse coordinator put on a CV?

The type and scale of the warehouse, processes, team, WMS, metrics, stocktakes, licences and training.

How does a coordinator differ from a warehouse manager?

A coordinator leads the day-to-day work of shifts and crews, while a manager is responsible for the whole warehouse, the budget and results.

Are UDT licences needed?

Not always, but they help, because a coordinator often stands in for forklift drivers.

How do you describe work at sales peaks?

Give the number of parcels at peak, the extra staff and how you plan staffing.
