Frequently asked questions

How important is the forklift licence in a CV?

Very important. A valid forklift licence is a requirement for many warehouse roles and should be clearly visible in your CV, along with any other relevant tickets.

Which experience should I highlight?

Present your tasks along the flow of goods: goods-in, put-away, picking, packing and dispatch. Knowledge of warehouse management systems and SAP is especially sought after.

Do I need a completed qualification?

Not always. Many warehouse roles are open to semi-skilled and unskilled staff as well as career changers. A logistics qualification is, however, an advantage.
