General Warehouse Worker Resume Examples & Guide

5 essentials of a top general warehouse worker resume

1. Contact details

   Start your general warehouse worker resume with a bold, professional header to include your contact information: full name, city, state, ZIP code, phone number and email address. Remember to use an email address with a professional email name. If you have a professional networking profile on a website, like LinkedIn, or through a membership organization, link it here as well. 

2. Personal statement

   The professional summary in your general warehouse worker resume is an introduction to the hiring manager. In no more than five sentences, introduce yourself by answering: how many years you’ve been in the industry, what is your strongest skill and mention an important professional accomplishment.  

   For example:

   Experienced warehouse worker with a strong work ethic and attention to detail. Skilled in inventory management, shipping and receiving, and operating forklifts and other heavy equipment. A team player with a positive attitude, able to handle multiple tasks and prioritize workload in a fast-paced environment. 

3. Skills

   Your general warehouse worker resume must include a balanced skills section. This will show the manager what you bring to the table and how you work with others. 

   Using bullet points, list your soft skills, like collaboration, time management and conflict management, and hard skills, like order requests processing, inventory control and packaging. 

   Remember to use the general warehouse worker description for a resume as a guide and match their skills to your own. 

4. Work history

   Your professional history shows more than where you’ve worked, it shows what you accomplished in each role. Follow the same format as our general warehouse worker resume and include the name of the employer, dates of employment and location. 

   Start with your current or most recent job and work your way backward. Under each entry, include a bulleted list with three quantifiable achievements.

   For example:

   •  Increased warehouse efficiency by 20% by implementing a new inventory management system, resulting in a reduction in order processing time and a decrease in errors.
   • Maintained a 99.9% accuracy rate in picking, packing and shipping orders, resulting in improved customer satisfaction and repeat business.
   • Trained and mentored new warehouse workers, resulting in a 25% increase in overall productivity and a decrease in training and onboarding time by 50%. 

   If this is your first job as a general warehouse worker, include relevant work experience, like volunteer experiences or community services where you used your interpersonal skills. 

5. Education

   Start your education section with your highest level of education; include the institution’s name, degree and graduation date. For example:

   Associate’s Degree in Business Logistics
   National American University. Rapid City, SD
   Expected graduation December 2024

   Skip the year if it has been a decade since graduation. No college? No problem! Include any post-high school or GED education you’ve completed using the same format as above.
