Here’s a simple checklist so you walk in prepared and don’t lose the job over something small.
1) Your ID and work documents
Bring your driver’s license (or ID) and any documents needed for onboarding.
2) A simple resume (even a one-page one)
Even if it’s basic, it helps you look prepared.
3) Reliable availability
Know your schedule:
- Days you can work
- Shift preferences
- Overtime availability
4) Proper shoes and a clean look
Many warehouses require closed-toe shoes or steel-toe boots. Dress clean and ready to work.
5) References (if you have them)
Even one supervisor name/number can help.
6) Transportation plan
Be ready to answer:
“How will you get to work every day?”
7) Forklift certification proof (if required)
If the job involves forklift work, many employers want proof of certification during hiring or onboarding.
If you need certification quickly, ForkliftReady allows you to complete OSHA-compliant forklift certification online so you can have proof ready.
