17. Walk me through your experience working in a fulfillment center, sort center, delivery station, or warehouse environment.
How to Answer
The interviewer wants to know if you have previous experience working in a distribution warehouse environment. If you do have experience working in a fulfillment or warehouse environment, walk the interviewer through your background and give them a snapshot of your overall exposure to a distribution warehouse environment or similar. Highlight the related tasks and responsibilities you have performed and any special areas of accomplishment.
If you do not have related work experience, talk about the transferable experiences you believe have prepared you to succeed as a Warehouse Associate. Reading through Amazon's Warehouse Associate job posting, some of the transferable skills the company values include dedication, the ability to work in a fast-paced environment, experience with inventory, comfort around machinery, physically fit, experience with product scanners, and an understanding of safety measures.
Answer Example
"For the past ten months, I have been employed as a pick/pack laborer at a 3PL center. I have learned accurate unit picking and how to perform proper order audits for quality assurance. I have been very dedicated to safety and compliance, ensuring a safe environment for myself and my co-workers. If I am hired to be a Warehouse Associate for Amazon, I will contribute what I have learned and apply the same safety principles in my daily work."
