Make it yours

  1. Keep the form, change every fact. A verb first, what changed, one number.

  3. Put the strongest result first. The resume review tells you what a first read finds.

How to write a warehouse associate resume

  1. One column, standard headings. Summary, Skills, Experience, Education: screening software reads these in order; tables, icons and two columns can come out scrambled.
  2. Every line: action, tool, result. “Built a churn dashboard in Tableau from SQL data; weekly reporting went from two days to one hour.” A verb first, the tool the posting names, one number.
  3. Send it as a PDF unless the form asks for Word. Name the file with your name and the role.

Check it before you send: the resume checker and the match against a posting.
