How to write a warehouse worker CV: a fictional example CV, sentences that describe stock and dispatch work, a skills list and common mistakes.
In a warehouse worker CV, employers look for concrete work that shows you can run goods in, stock and dispatch in an orderly way. This fictional example describes the experience in short, responsibility-focused sentences.
This example is fictional; the names of people and organisations are not real.

Goods in, putaway, order picking, loading and counting: write each task on its own line.
Handheld scanner, warehouse management system, pallet truck or forklift. If you have a forklift licence, give its validity date.
Safety training or following the rules matters for these roles; add one short line if you have it.
Writing about counts and delivery-note checks, which need attention, builds trust.
Adapt them to your own real work; never write something you did not do.
Choose only what is true for you.
Do not write it. If you are training you can write “training in progress”; never list equipment you have not used.
Usually not. Use a photo-free template unless asked.
Write school placements, family work or seasonal jobs and concrete examples that show you are ready for physical work.
