If you read our previous blog discussing everything an aspiring warehouse operative needs to know<\/a>, then you\u2019ll appreciate just how important a role they play in today\u2019s world. They\u2019re a key component of the supply chain process and are instrumental to ensuring ecommerce customers aren\u2019t left disappointed with damaged items or late deliveries.<\/p>\n

Without warehouse supervisors, the efficiency of online shopping would seriously plummet.<\/p>\n

The popularity of online shopping is showing no signs of slowing down any time soon, meaning that warehouse operatives are currently highly sought after. It\u2019s one of the most in-demand career opportunities in the UK, meaning that now more than ever is the perfect time to pursue a career in this industry.<\/p>\n

However, this doesn\u2019t mean getting a job is easy. Employers won\u2019t just employ anyone who walks through the office door, they\u2019ll only consider those with the right mix of technical ability, personal skills and practical experience. So in order to maximise your chances of landing your dream job, you need to make yourself attractive and do all you can to ensure you appear as the strongest candidate.<\/p>\n

To help you get started, we\u2019ve put together this guide which provides some of our top tips for helping you to secure your dream job as a warehouse operative.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Gain Work Experience<\/h2>\n

Employers want to see evidence that you can perform certain skills and duties which is why it\u2019s imperative you illustrate past employment and the value you provided to the organisation. Not only will it help to convey your knowledge and competence, but it also assures employers that they won\u2019t have to spend time training you.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to get into the industry for the first time, then we advise seeking work experience or an unpaid internship before applying for a full-time vacancy. This isn\u2019t just so that you can demonstrate your passion for the industry, but it will also help you to categorically decide whether it\u2019s the career for you.<\/p>\n

Build a Great CV<\/h2>\n

Having a CV that stands out from the competition can be a big advantage in a competitive job market. Of course you need to include all of your key details, such as your education and qualifications, but also look to identify some of your key achievements that suggest your relevancy for the job.<\/p>\n

Highlighting some of your interests to portray your personality is another great way of making your CV a little different to the others.<\/p>\n

For help making sure your CV is as relevant as possible for a specific role, please don\u2019t hesitate to contact<\/a> a member of our team today. We\u2019ve been involved in recruitment for over 30 years and are passionate about helping you to effectively present your application.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Tailor Your Applications for the Specific Job<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re applying for numerous vacancies then it\u2019s absolutely essential you tailor each application to suit the specific job description. Successful applications are the ones that are targeted and researched with skills to match the role so spend considerable time researching the company beforehand and make sure you fully understand the job description so that you can adjust and position your application accordingly.<\/p>\n

Another good idea is to prepare some questions about the role, company and\/or prospects in advance of your interview – it\u2019ll showcase your research and demonstrate interest beyond what is solely provided in the vacancy description.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Give Up<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s important that you stay positive even if you face rejection. Every time you miss out on a job remember to ask interviewers for feedback to see where you can strengthen and make sure you spend time working on it ahead of your next interview.<\/p>\n

The interview process is a learning curve, and each vacancy you\u2019re rejected from is a step towards the one you\u2019ll eventually get.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Sign Up for Job Alerts<\/h2>\n

To help make sure you never miss a warehouse operative or similar vacancy, it\u2019s highly recommended that you sign up for job alerts<\/a>. You\u2019ll be instantly notified when any jobs related to your preferences become available, ensuring you don\u2019t miss out on any potential dream jobs.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, you can send your CV<\/a> to our recruitment experts. We\u2019ll get to understand your specific skillset and utilise our vast network of clients to find a job perfectly suited to your capabilities.<\/p>\n

Be Open-Minded<\/h2>\n

Another top tip is to avoid restricting your job search by geographical location. If you can\u2019t find anything right for you in the nearby area, there\u2019s likely to be plenty of opportunities further afield. Although moving to another area may seem daunting, it\u2019ll certainly be worth it if you find the right role.<\/p>\n

Likewise, try not to become too absorbed in finding the \u2018perfect\u2019 job. Don\u2019t fixate too much on a certain job title or role, keep your mind open and broaden your search. It\u2019s easier to move and progress once your employed than it is to wait for the ideal job \u2013 you might even enjoy the role you end up in!<\/p>\n

You might want to set your sights on landing a job with the big boys, but don\u2019t be afraid to also apply for positions at smaller companies. There\u2019s less competition for these places and you tend to get more responsibility which will help to accelerate your career path.<\/p>\n<\/div>
