Resume: Sorter

[PigSkin]

I'm (re)doing my resume and I was wondering what kind of wording to use to describe the duties and responsibilities of a sorter at UPS.

What do you guys and gals have on your resumes (if applicable)?

Thanks! Looking forward to reading your responses!

Go to upsjobs.com. There should be a job description for the sorter job there.

UPS is my career and thus I have no resume (nor hope to ever need one) on hand.

Didn't find anything under "Sorter" but under "Package Handlers"

This is a physical, fast-paced position that involves continual lifting, lowering and sliding packages that typically weigh 25 - 35 lbs. and may weigh up to 70 lbs......

I am looking for something more individualized. Human readables, amount of packages sorted per hour, etc....

Your local mgt team may have something more specific.

And occasionally throw them?

Are you serious? I wouldn't want them to know.

With the experience and knowledge of sorting you learned here, you'll never put the milk on top of the eggs at your new job.

I have no need of a resume, this will be the last place I work for anyone else.

So, no one here has a resume with their UPS accomplishments listed on it? Specifically a sorter? Maybe someone that does will come by and hopefully spot this thread and contribute to it.

Just ask your HR rep or PT sup if they have a written description of your job.

I did one summer in the early 2000s...

I just said " package handler/ sorter" <shrugs>

I didn't embellish it with fancy words

Just stating that you worked at UPS will be good enough for some recruiters

This is a physical, fast-paced position that involves continual lifting, lowering and sliding packages that typically weigh 25 - 35 lbs. and may weigh up to 70 lbs.(or more)​

and if you see your own website, you can copy/paste some of the things as you see fit:

be short, to the point... you can just talk about the specifics with the interviewer later.

I remember saying to an interviewer that I was getting paid to work out
