SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE AND BEHAVIOURS

Warehousing and logistics can be a really great career path. Employers will want you to have a variety of useful skills such as:

to be thorough and pay attention to detail
the ability to work well with others
patience and the ability to remain calm in stressful situations

the ability to work well with your hands
thinking and reasoning skills
to be able to carry out basic tasks on a computer or hand-held device

It's important to know the kind of working environment you could expect to be in. This will often consist of an open warehouse, so it could be a little chilly from time to time but you will have the correct protective clothing that will help.

Do be aware some in some roles you may be required to have forklift truck driver training.
