Material Handling, Warehousing, and Logistics is a niche field which you may not have been exposed to during your education and your previous work experience. Show the interviewer that you are interested in the industry and that you can quickly get up to speed and be a contributing member of the team. Ask the interviewer if they have any specific recommendations on where to begin.

"I know that learning a new industry is more than just learning how to do my specific job. For that reason, I plan to approach learning about warehousing and logistics from a couple different perspectives. When I'm working on my job, I can learn by reviewing older project files. Supplier brochures, websites, and trade magazines can help me understand the equipment we put in our systems. When I'm in the field, I can ask the customer questions to learn exactly how they use our equipment. Do you have any recommendations for .general reading that can help me get a feel for the field?"
