Woolworths Resume: Applying for a Team Member Role

Applications are grouped by banner and department, so pick the one you want and write to it:

• Supermarket Team Member – checkouts, service desk, nightfill, fresh departments, online picking.
• Online and fulfilment – picking, packing, and delivery roles that need a driver licence.
• Big W – retail assistants in apparel, home and electronics.
• Dan Murphy’s and BWS – liquor retail, where an RSA certificate is a genuine advantage.
• Bakery, butcher and deli – food handling, hygiene and early shifts.

Supermarket rosters run on seven days, early starts and late closes. A resume that says “flexible” tells a hiring manager nothing. Write it as a line you can defend in an interview:

• Available Tuesday to Saturday, 6am to 3pm; can work Sunday and public holidays.
• State your visa type and working-hour limits if you are not a citizen or permanent resident.
• Note any restrictions honestly – school hours, a second job, sport commitments – because rosters are built once and changed rarely.

Woolworths screens for safe, consistent, customer-facing work. Two or three strong bullets beat a long duty list:

• Speed and accuracy: picked and packed 120 online orders per shift with a 99% item accuracy rate.
• Safety: completed manual handling and hazard reporting training; zero lost-time incidents across 18 months.
• Stock: managed markdowns and rotation in the dairy department, cutting waste during a store refit.
• Service: handled refunds, online order queries and complaints at the service desk.

Keep the document simple: contact details with suburb and postcode, a two-line summary, availability, experience in reverse-chronological order, certificates (RSA, RSG, food safety, forklift), then two referees. Australian referees expect a call, so confirm with them first and use mobile numbers you know are current. No photo, date of birth or cover page.
