Warehouse worker CV example: bullets, skills and summary
A warehouse CV (or warehouse resume) should be short and practical: what you did, which equipment you can operate, how productive and accurate you were and how safely you worked. Supervisors want to know you can hit pick rates, follow procedures and work the shifts they need.

Tips for this CV
Put licences and certificates first
Forklift or reach-truck licences, MHE certificates, first aid and health-and-safety training should be easy to spot — many ads require them.
Use productivity and accuracy numbers
Pick rates, accuracy and trucks loaded per shift show performance in the language supervisors use. Use your real numbers or how you compared with the target.
State shift availability
Say clearly if you can work nights, weekends or rotating shifts and whether you have your own transport. It can be the deciding factor.

FAQ
How long should a warehouse CV be?
One page. Focus on recent warehouse or physical jobs and list licences clearly.
What if I have no warehouse experience?
Highlight physical, reliable work from other jobs (retail stockroom, delivery, hospitality) and any safety training. Show you are punctual and can work shifts.
Should a warehouse resume include a personal summary?
Yes, two or three lines: years of experience, licences and availability. It helps busy recruiters decide in seconds.
