Position: Warehouse Management

Six years of experience plus two years of formal business course work. Have supervised a staff as large as 16 people and warehousing operations covering two acres and valued at more than $14,000,000. Automated inventory operations resulting in a 30% increase in turnover and estimated annual savings of more than $250,000. Working knowledge of accounting, computer systems, time and motion studies, and advanced inventory management systems.

Will work any hours.

Responsible, hardworking, and can solve problems.

You can easily create JIST Cards on a computer and print them on card stock you can buy at any office supply store. Or have a few hundred printed cheaply by a local quick print shop. You can write your own JIST card in 8 easy steps.

1. Type your name at the top of the card. You can center it and use bold text to make it stand out, as you would on a resume.

2. Give two ways for the employer to contact you. Space down a few lines and left-align this information. Generally, all you will need to include is your daytime phone number or cell phone number and your email address.

3. Give a broad job objective. Space down another line or two and left-align this information. A broad objective will allow you to be considered  for many jobs.

4. List your years of experience. Space down again and add one sentence that summarizes how long you have been working in this field.

5. Detail your education and training. In the same paragraph, add a sentence that tells what degrees, certifications, diplomas, and other relevant training you have.

6. Showcase your job-related skills. Still in the same paragraph, add up to four sentences that tell what you can do and how well you can do it. Be sure to include accomplishments and numbers to support them. (See Step 2 for help identifying these skills.)

7. State your availability and preferred working arrangements. If applicable, space down and add a sentence that states any special availability you might have, such as "interested in part-time work," or "available with two weeks' notice."

8. End with your key adaptive skills. Space down a few more lines and add one last sentence that tells what personality traits you have that make you a good employee.

Attach a JIST Card to your resume. Give them to friends, relatives, and other contacts and ask them to pass the cards along to others who might know of opening. Enclose them in thank-you notes after interviews. Leave them with employers as a business card. However you get them in circulation, you may be surprised at how well they work.
