Warehouse Resume

By Jamie Thork, Monster contributor

You know all of the different items that go into fulfilling a single order? Well, the same strategy applies to creating a warehouse resume. You need to make sure all the necessary sections are included in order for your warehouse associate resume to be completed and ready to be shipped out to hiring managers for top warehouse jobs. For inspiration, view Monster's warehouse associate resume sample.

First, start with a strong opening warehouse resume objective or summary. This can be a short sentence or even a list of bullet points that summarize who you are and what you bring to the table.

To help you pinpoint the best warehouse resume skills to feature, here's a hint: Check out the job ad to see which keywords are prioritized by the company. Typically, the most important qualifications are listed in priority order beginning at the top of the job ad. For instance, let's say a job ad says a company is looking for a "reliable and safety-conscious" worker who can "promote a team-oriented environment," be sure to use those phrases in your warehouse resume.

You can see how we did that in our free warehouse resume template.
