Behavioral
Tell me about a time you caught a mistake in an order or shipment. What did you do about it?
attention to detail and willingness to flag problems rather than pass them along
Tell me about a time you had to lift or move something heavy or awkward. How did you handle it safely?
awareness of body mechanics and injury prevention given the lifting demands of the job
Tell me about a time you noticed supplies that were expired or damaged sitting on a shelf. What did you do?

Tell me about a job where you had to be on your feet and moving most of the shift. How did that go for you?
realistic expectations about the physical demands and stamina for standing, walking, bending
This role has no holidays or weekends but starts early, 6 to 2:30. What made you interested in this schedule and this kind of work?
genuine fit with the shift and motivation for entry-level warehouse/logistics work in a hospital setting
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?
how they balance urgency against following proper process
You've got a stack of requisitions, a scheduled replenishment run, and someone from a department calling for an urgent item. How do you decide what comes first?
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?
judgment about following documentation requirements versus just pushing something out the door
