Strong teamwork and communication skills are also important as they enhance collaboration among team members, leading to efficiency.

To manage the physical demands of previous warehouse jobs, I ensure I'm well-rested before my shifts, maintain good hydration, and practice exercises that promote strength and flexibility. I also take regular breaks to maintain stamina and stay focused on the tasks at hand.

In a previous role, I was once tasked with completing a particularly complex order with a tight deadline. I organized my approach by prioritizing the most time-consuming items and collaborated with team members to expedite the process, successfully meeting the deadline with zero errors.
