Tell me about a time you had to lift or move something heavy or awkward. How did you handle it safely?

Technical

Walk me through what you check when a delivery of medical supplies comes in before you sign for it.

whether the candidate has a real inspection routine, not just accepting boxes as delivered

How would you go about restocking a code cart, and what would you be checking for while you do it?

understanding that expired or missing items on emergency carts is a patient safety issue, not a stocking task

What's your experience with hand-held scanners or computer systems for tracking inventory?

comfort level with the basic data entry tools the job requires day one

Have you used equipment like a pallet jack, reach truck, or order picker before? Tell me about that.

actual hands-on familiarity with warehouse machinery versus just having heard of it

Situational

Say you find an isolation cart that's missing a key item and a nurse needs it right now. What do you do?

prioritization skills under competing demands

How do you keep your work area organized and clean when things are busy and moving fast?

whether they treat orderliness as a habit rather than an afterthought

What would you do if a vendor return needed to go out but the paperwork you were given seemed incomplete or wrong?
