Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my interest in warehouse and logistics opportunities within your organization. With over 15 years of experience in fast-paced environments such as Amazon, Rubbermaid, and Harris Teeter, I bring a strong work ethic, proven forklift operation skills, and a commitment to efficiency and safety that aligns well with your company’s standards. In my most recent roles at Amazon and Rubbermaid, I operated a variety of industrial trucks including stand-up forklifts, reach trucks, and cherry pickers. I consistently supported daily warehouse operations and maintained a spotless safety record. My role as a
"water spider" at Amazon sharpened my ability to anticipate team needs and streamline workflow to maintain high productivity levels.
Before that, I spent over a decade with Harris Teeter as a Dairy/Frozen Assistant Manager, where I developed strong leadership and inventory management skills. I understand the value of teamwork, communication, and organization in ensuring that operations run smoothly.
I am confident that my background and dedication make me a strong candidate for your team. I would welcome the opportunity to contribute to your organization and am available for an interview at your convenience.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of working with your team.
Sincerely,
James McKoy
