Unlike other warehouse positions, forklift operators require a certain set of skills and certifications. He/she needs to possess a class 3 license, WSQ/PSA/AAT Forklift license, and WSQ Certificate in Workplace Safety and Health. Besides having the mentioned certificates, it is essential to include them in his/her resume to be considered a suitable candidate.
Do not discredit yourself with a subpar resume, WorkClass.co will guide you to craft an impeccable resume.
Below are the 6 essential sections in a resume:
The header should include your Full Name in Caps. Many of our warehouse applicants did not pay attention to such small details. Although this does not significantly affect their application outcome, it is still advisable to make the resume as clear as possible for the hiring manager.
Personal Information is another crucial factor in a forklift operator job. Normally, hiring managers want to know the health condition of the forklift operator. It is advisable to include some basic details about your health conditions like your blood type and age to help them in their decision-making.
The key skills section should include your soft and hard skills. E.g. meticulous, hardworking, etc.
Professional Experience is the most important section of the whole resume. Please include your professional experience using the parallel listing. Refer to the previous blog to know how your work experience section should look like.
The education section should include the technical skills that you learned from your vocational institution.
Certificates should include the class 3 license, WSQ/PSA/AAT Forklift license, and WSQ Certificate in Workplace Safety and Health.
