About your past
The shift runs Sunday through Thursday, late evening into early morning. How have you managed night work before?
What they are checking: Whether they have a realistic plan for steady night hours, which is where many new hires struggle.
Part of the job is preparing workspaces for the next day. Why does that matter, and how would you do it well?
What they are checking: Whether they understand how night work sets up the day shift for success or failure.
Tell me about a time you saw someone doing something unsafe on the job. What did you do?
What they are checking: Whether they will speak up about safety even with a peer, which matters around forklifts and racking.
How do you stay accurate when you're working fast and the shift is almost over?
What they are checking: Whether they keep quality up when tired, since late-shift errors are common and costly.
What makes you want a long-term warehouse career rather than a short-term job?
What they are checking: Whether they are likely to stay and grow, which matters to an employer investing in training.
What would you do
You're replenishing a location and the product already there doesn't match what the system says. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they flag inventory mismatches instead of ignoring them, since bad counts cause missed orders.
While unloading a supplier shipment, you find damaged cartons. How do you handle it?
What they are checking: Whether they document and report damage at receiving, when it can still be charged back to the supplier.
About the work
You'll use forklifts and powered industrial trucks to replenish product on racking. What equipment have you run, and what's your experience at height?
What they are checking: Whether they have real equipment experience or are ready to learn it safely at heights up to 30 feet.
Walk me through the safety checks you'd do before driving a forklift at the start of a shift.
What they are checking: Whether they treat a pre-use inspection as a habit, since skipped checks cause many warehouse accidents.
How do you put product away on racking so the next person can find it and pick it safely?
What they are checking: Whether they understand location accuracy and safe load placement, which both affect everyone downstream.
