Use the structure, not the identity

What to copy

Copy the order of sections, the action-led bullet pattern, and the way tools, context, quality, and outcomes are made easy to scan.

What not to copy

Do not copy this name, employers, dates, certificates, language levels, responsibilities, or fictional metrics. Replace every claim with evidence from your own work.

Bullet formula: action + system/equipment + scale or quality + result. If a part is not supported, leave it out or label it for confirmation.

What warehouse hiring teams scan first

A strong warehouse CV should prove that you can work safely, follow procedures, use warehouse systems, and keep productivity and accuracy stable.

Warehouse flows: inbound, outbound, order picking, returns, cross-dock, inventory checks, or loading.
Equipment and certificates: forklift, reach truck, EPT, VCA, BHV, scanner, voice picking, or WMS.
Productivity proof: order lines per hour, pick accuracy, pallets per shift, stock-difference reduction.
Availability: 2-shift, 3-shift, evening, night, weekend, cold storage, or physical work.
Language fit: Dutch and English level for instructions, safety briefings, and team communication.

Language and local fit

Use English when the vacancy or employer works internationally, but keep Dutch-market details clear: location, language level, certificates, systems, and work-route details where relevant.

No defensible number? Keep the claim useful.

If you cannot verify a pick rate or accuracy figure, write the process and result without inventing a number: for example, “Maintained accurate order picking through scanner checks and location verification.”

Netherlands context

For a Netherlands application, make location, Dutch/English level, certificates, shift availability, and work-authorisation questions easy to find. The example gives structure; an employer must confirm the role and any permit requirements.

English / Dutch vocabulary

Order picker · Orderpicker

Use the English title for an English vacancy and keep the Dutch term when it helps local search.

Reach truck · Reachtruck

Name the exact equipment and certificate only when you have used or earned it.

Warehouse management system (WMS) · Warehousemanagementsysteem

Add the actual system, such as SAP EWM, only when it appears in your experience.

Shift availability · Beschikbaarheid voor ploegendienst

State day, evening, night, or weekend availability as a current fact to confirm.

Mistakes that weaken a warehouse CV

Only listing tasks without systems, certificates, or shift availability.
Forgetting safety, accuracy, or productivity evidence.
Using vague physical work claims instead of concrete warehouse flows.
Leaving out WMS, scanner, forklift, reach truck, EPT, or VCA details.
Not showing whether you can work evenings, nights, weekends, or rotating shifts.

FAQ

What should a warehouse CV show first?

Show your warehouse tasks, systems, certificates, shift availability, safety record, and measurable productivity such as pick rate, accuracy, pallets, or order lines.

Should I mention forklift or reach truck certificates?

Yes. Mention the certificate type and year. Employers often scan for forklift, reach truck, EPT, VCA, BHV, and availability for shifts.

Can I use this CV for logistics roles in English?

Yes, especially for international warehouses and distribution centres. Keep Dutch language level visible if the workplace uses Dutch instructions or safety briefings.

What if I am new to warehouse work?

Lead with transferable evidence such as safe manual handling, stock work, retail or production routines, reliability, and any relevant training. Never add equipment or productivity claims you cannot support.
