Warehouse Manager Questions & Answers
Here’s a 10 minute video on how to answer warehouse manager questions. If you plan on making a career in the warehouse industry, I recommend on having a mindset to hold a leadership position.
When I first became a warehouse supervisor, I already had two business degrees, two professional certifications, and 15+ years working in a warehouses. I had extensive knowledge in safety, leadership, KPI’s, motivation, training, operations, and a variety of other warehouse functions. Warehouses are probably the most dynamic in terms of operations because they have several departments that are needed to meet organizational goals.
I recommend getting cross-trained in every department the warehouse has so you can get a clear understanding on how the operation works and what it needs to succeed.

8 Rules to avoid accidents on a forklift
If you’re applying for a forklift position, safety is the number 1 priority hiring managers love to hear. But it should also be you’re number 1 priority to get you and your coworkers back home in one piece to your family.
I’ve been hired on the spot countless times because I have extensive knowledge on best safe practices and OSHA regulations in a warehouse. When I ever got a walk-thru of the facility, I would point out what’s safe and what’s not safe and management would be impressed. Here’s a quick video on forklift safety.
Stand-Up Forklift
This is a video of how to operate a stand-up forklift. Stand-up’s are used to pick orders or replenish inventory. They increase production because operators don’t have to jump on and off the lift to pick items. They also maximize safety for the operator preventing any long term health problems from jumping on and off the lift.
I operated this lift for 10+ years, but the way I learned was jumping on a stand-up during my lunch break when no one was around. They are very difficult to operate if you don’t have any proper training. If you learn how to operate a stand-up you can pretty much get a job at any warehouse that picks orders using a stand-up. Wages are pretty decent as well so I recommend learning this piece of equipment if you are working in a warehouse.

Some popular job search providers like Jobcase, Indeed, and Glassdoor can help you find these opportunities.
