Sorter resume examples for 2025

Sorter resume format and sections

1. 1

   1. Add contact information to your sorter resume

   Your name should be the biggest text on the page and be at or near the top of the document. Your address doesn't need to include your street name or house number - listing your city and state works just fine. Your email address should be professional, but not your current work email address. It's not a good look to use your work email for personal projects (job-searching). Your social media can be included if you have a fully-fledged LinkedIn page or another social media page that showcases your relevant skill set.

   2. Add relevant education to your sorter resume

   Your resume's education section should include:

   • The name of your school
   • The date you graduated (Month, Year or Year are both appropriate)
   • The name of your degree

   If you graduated more than 15 years ago, you should consider dropping your graduation date to avoid age discrimination.

   Optional subsections for your education section include:

   • Academic awards (Dean's List, Latin honors, etc. )
   • GPA (if you're a recent graduate and your GPA was 3.5+)
   • Extra certifications
   • Academic projects (thesis, dissertation, etc. )

   Other tips to consider when writing your education section include:

   • If you're a recent graduate, you might opt to place your education section above your experience section
   • The more work experience you get, the shorter your education section should be
   • List your education in reverse chronological order, with your most recent and high-ranking degrees first
   • If you haven't graduated yet, you can include "Expected graduation date" to the entry for that school

   3. Next, create a sorter skills section on your resume

   Your resume's skills section should include the most important keywords from the job description, as long as you actually have those skills. If you haven't started your job search yet, you can look over resumes to get an idea of what skills are the most important.

   Here are some tips to keep in mind when writing your resume's skills section:

   • Include 6-12 skills, in bullet point form
   • List mostly hard skills; soft skills are hard to test
   • Emphasize the skills that are most important for the job

   Hard skills are generally more important to hiring managers because they relate to on-the-job knowledge and specific experience with a certain technology or process.

   Soft skills are also valuable, as they're highly transferable and make you a great person to work alongside, but they're impossible to prove on a resume.

   Example of skills to include on an sorter resume

   • Warehouse Environment Skills.
      

     Warehouse environment means the overall working conditions of a warehouse. The warehouse environment is often noisy and loud. It is a busy place and with hundreds of people working in the same place, alongside several trucks and loaders being operational to load and unload stuff, the place becomes messy and noisy.

   • Recyclable Materials Skills.
      

     Recyclable Materials are materials that can be reused for another purpose or the same purpose. They can be recycled and repurposed because their initial properties (chemical and physical) are not lost after they've been used and dumped. Recyclable Materials are found in waste bins or dumpsites. Plastics and materials made of plastics are the most popular recyclable materials in the world today.

   • Safety Procedures Skills.
      

     Safety procedures are a set of standardized procedures, that ensures minimal to no risk to people, resources, and the work environment. A company follows the step-by-step safety procedures as it they not only keep the customers and the employees safe, but also help in avoiding legal claims.

   • ZIP Codes Skills.
      

     ZIP codes are usually assigned geographically, but sometimes special codes are allocated to individuals or institutions that receive great volumes of mail, like government agencies and big commercial companies. These codes specify delivery routes used by mail carriers.

   • Postal Service Skills.
      

     A postal service is a service in which messages - letters, parcels, or packages - are sent by post to all recipients in the same country or abroad. The goal is to provide the nation with a universal, reliable, and affordable mail service.

   • Assembly Line Skills.
      

     Assembly line is a process used in industries to ensure the production of products in a cost effective manner by dividing up the responsibilities of each labor. Assembly lines enabled industries to hire more workers, therefore providing more employment opportunities to labors. This is possible because in this process the burden of all the tasks related to production are not laid on a single person, they are divided into small baby steps for each labor.

   4. List your sorter experience

   The most important part of any resume for a sorter is the experience section. Recruiters and hiring managers expect to see your experience listed in reverse chronological order, meaning that you should begin with your most recent experience and then work backwards.

   Don't just list your job duties below each job entry. Instead, make sure most of your bullet points discuss impressive achievements from your past positions. Whenever you can, use numbers to contextualize your accomplishments for the hiring manager reading your resume.

   It's okay if you can't include exact percentages or dollar figures. There's a big difference even between saying "Managed a team of sorters" and "Managed a team of 6 sorters over a 9-month project. "

   Most importantly, make sure that the experience you include is relevant to the job you're applying for. Use the job description to ensure that each bullet point on your resume is appropriate and helpful.
