A simple structure
Three useful details are enough. Replace every highlighted prompt with something true from your own work.
Warehouse with [your experience] in [setting or specialty].
Skilled in [two relevant skills] and comfortable with [tool, system, or equipment].
[Action verb] a measurable result by [your number].
Retail stocking, construction labor, moving, farm work, military logistics, restaurant receiving. Any role with lifting, counting or inventory paperwork translates directly; name the volume.
Say it plainly: "forklift certified, recertification current as of [date]" or "previously certified, available to recertify." Employers often pay for recertification, but they need to know where you stand.
Throughput with accuracy together: [180] units per hour at [99.7%]. Speed alone reads as sloppy risk; accuracy alone reads as slow. Paired, they're the whole job.
In warehouse hiring, yes. Turnover and no-shows are the industry's biggest cost, so a documented attendance record is a genuine differentiator, not filler.
Show cross-training and coverage: stations you can run, people you've trained, peak seasons you've worked. Breadth is the promotion argument.
