How to Format a Warehouse Manager Resume
Your warehouse manager’s resume can use one of three formats, depending on what you want to highlight. If you have over 10 years of experience and want to showcase previous managerial or leadership skills, use the chronological resume like Candidate A. This resume format features the lengthiest and most detailed work history section and helps demonstrate the gradual growth of leadership opportunities.
Candidate B, however, has less than two years of experience with one job. Despite their lack of formal employment, they have a degree in shipping and logistics and plenty of academic knowledge. They use a functional resume to minimize their work history and focus on applicable skills and experience, such as warehouse management and team leadership.
