Application Question(s):

Tell me about your previous warehouse experience and the size of the teams you've managed. This role often means working alone or with just one other person. How do you stay self-directed and motivated? Are you currently forklift certified? If not, are you comfortable operating one once trained? What does accountability mean to you in a small-team environment? This role requires travel between two locations each week. Are you comfortable with that?
