What should I put on a warehouse resume with no experience?
Lead with reliability, safe manual handling, accuracy and a willingness to follow procedures. Include any tickets such as a White Card or Forklift Licence, and use work experience, labouring or volunteering to show you are fit and dependable. Keep it to one page.
Do I need a forklift licence for a warehouse job?
Not for most picker-packer or general warehouse roles, but a Forklift Licence (LF) widens the jobs you can apply for and is worth listing if you have one. A White Card is also commonly requested for warehouse and logistics work.
What skills do warehouse employers look for?
Order picking and packing, safe manual handling, stock control and scanning, accuracy, meeting targets and a strong focus on workplace health and safety. Reliability and being a good team member matter just as much.
