- Familiarity with paperwork. Warehouse work sometimes involves paperwork. Make sure you are familiar with the procedures for filling out orders and doing inventory.

- Skilled at counting, cross-checking, picking, and staging orders and shipments. Orders need to be examined, checked, staged, and packaged properly in order to arrive in good shape.
