Common questions

What should I put on a warehouse resume?

Your tickets (WHMIS, forklift), your pick or pack rate, your accuracy, the scanners or systems you used and the shifts you can work.

Do I need WHMIS for a warehouse job?

Workers who use, store or handle hazardous products, or may be exposed to them, must get WHMIS training. Many warehouses train you, but listing it shows you are ready to start.

Is a forklift licence required?

Forklifts should only be driven by trained workers. Not every warehouse job needs it, but it opens more jobs.

How do I show numbers if I do not know my rate?

Use what you know: orders per shift, trailers unloaded, pallets moved or weeks without an error. An honest estimate such as about 300 orders a shift is fine.
