Logistics, Warehousing & Security
Examples for drivers, warehouse keepers and security guards, covering the licences and permits these roles filter on.
Driver CV Example
Driving roles filter on two things before anything else: your licence class and your driving record. A CV that doesn't state the licence category, years behind the wheel and a clean record gets dropped unread. What distinguishes you after that is punctuality and route knowledge.
- driving licence
- heavy vehicle
- delivery
- clean driving record
Warehouse Keeper CV Example
Warehouse keepers are judged on one thing above all others: record accuracy. A small gap between physical and book stock costs the company money directly, which is why inventory accuracy is the strongest single number you can put on your CV.
- inventory management
- stocktaking
- SAP MM
- receiving and issuing
Security Guard CV Example
Security roles filter on licensing, a clean record and fitness. Beyond that, what separates one guard from another is discipline in report writing and the judgement to act correctly during an incident — and those are what your CV needs to demonstrate.
- security guard
- security licence
- CCTV surveillance
- incident reports
In transport, warehousing and security, the licence is the gate and the number is the differentiator. Nothing on these CVs matters more than the licence class or permit and its expiry — and immediately after it comes what nobody states: payload, SKU count, camera count.
The licence by class and date, not by existence
"Driving licence" is vague; "heavy vehicle licence valid to 2028" is a hiring sentence. Both the system and the manager look for the class specifically, and vague reads as unqualified or expired.
The same applies to a security permit and a safety certificate: give the issuer, the number and the expiry in their own section near the top.
- Driver: licence class, vehicle type, payload, and the regions you know
- Warehouse keeper: SKU count, inventory accuracy, and the WMS in use
- Security guard: permit, site type, cameras covered, reports filed
Site type changes the whole job
Guarding a mall is not guarding a factory; a chilled food warehouse is not a spare parts store; refrigerated haulage is not general transport. Employers hire from sites like their own, and anyone who does not specify loses that match for free.
State the site type and sector plainly. It is information you already have and it costs you no more than a line.
Discipline and documentation are what raise the pay
Across these three fields, what separates one worker from another is neither strength nor speed but documentation: incident reports for the guard, inventory accuracy for the store keeper, a clean driving record for the driver.
And whoever documents well and is comfortable with a computer is seconded first to the control room, the warehouse system, or supervision — the move that genuinely changes the pay band.
Common questions
- Should a driver list traffic violations on a CV?
- No. They are declared on official forms if asked, not on your CV. But if your record is clean, say so plainly — every transport operator is looking for exactly that.
- What raises a driver's pay more than anything else?
- A heavy vehicle licence. It is the one step that clearly changes the pay band, and any other training investment returns less on this path.
- I work in security and want an office role. Where do I start?
- The control room. A CCTV operator is an office job inside the same field and needs no new qualification, and from there to supervision and then occupational health and safety — a wider and better paid track.
