What fulfilment teams scan first
Make the flow visible: where you picked, how you checked it, what systems you used, and how you handled exceptions. The result should be understandable even when a recruiter scans it quickly.

Skills example
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, write what makes the work reliable: “Picked multi-line orders with scanner and location checks before packing.” It tells the reader what you actually did.
Netherlands context
International fulfilment teams may use English, while safety instructions and daily coordination can still include Dutch. State both language levels and show where you have worked with local procedures.
English / Dutch vocabulary
Order picking · Orderpicken
Use both terms when a local vacancy mixes English and Dutch.
Returns processing · Retourverwerking
Add the system and decision you used for exceptions.
Pick path · Pickroute
Explain route or location work only when it reflects your real process.
Packing instructions · Verpakkingsinstructies
Mention fragile, cold-chain, or carrier rules only when relevant.

FAQ
Do I need a number on every fulfilment bullet?
No. A clear process, system, quality check, or exception handled is useful evidence. Use numbers only when you can verify them.
Should I mention weekend or night shifts?
Mention past shift experience and state current availability separately, because availability can change.
How should I describe physical-work experience?
Describe the real handling, packing, standing, lifting, temperature, or pace requirements and the safety routines you followed. Avoid unsupported claims about strength, fitness, or injury-free performance.
Do I need Dutch if I apply to an English-speaking fulfilment team?
Follow the vacancy honestly: show your English level, state your Dutch level, and mention whether you can understand the safety or team instructions required for the role.
What is the difference between an order picker and a warehouse operator?
Titles vary by employer. Describe the actual flow—picking, packing, replenishment, returns, or stock work—so the reader can assess the fit.
Can agency work count as fulfilment experience?
Yes. Name the real client or site only when you are allowed to, describe the process you performed, and separate temporary assignment dates from your current availability.
