Common mistakes for non-native speakers
- Instead of "I am strong and fast": say: "I kept a steady pace and always followed the safe lifting steps". A supervisor may listen for safety as much as speed.
- Instead of "It is not my job": say: "I would stop, tell my supervisor and wait until it is safe". Reporting a hazard is part of every warehouse job.
- Instead of "I did many things": say: "I did picking with a scanner, packing and loading the vans". Naming the tasks and equipment helps the recruiter match you to the shift.
- Instead of only saying "yes" to a new instruction: say: "So I start in zone C, and then I help with loading at ten?". Repeating the instruction shows you understood it.
