Show the interviewer that you have progressive career development by explaining how your previous work experience has prepared you for this position. If you've had any previous exposure to the material handling or warehousing industry, such as by moving boxes at FedEx or by picking items at an Amazon warehouse, mention it here. If you've worked primarily in customer service, show how this experience has attuned you to noticing customers' unique needs. If you've had a previous internship where you learned an applicable skill, now is the time to mention it.

"The summer before my sophomore year of college I worked at FedEx moving boxes. While it wasn't an engineering position, I was exposed to several different types of conveyors and the general idea of how boxes move from one end of the warehouse to another. As a Material Handling Engineer, I look forward to learning how the systems that I used as a box mover are actually designed and installed."
