What FedEx looks for

FedEx asks for a résumé that sums up your work experience, education, training, skills, internships and certifications. It also says to research FedEx and the role so the résumé stays relevant. FedEx wants facility operations managers to champion its "Safety Above All" culture, drive continuous improvement and act as change agents, coaching people while handling high shipment volumes. It also encourages applying even if you don't meet every preferred qualification. It names leadership, discipline, adaptability and a mission focus as veteran strengths.

Bullet formula: [Safety, quality or improvement verb] + [volume or team size] + [a measured result]. Aim for safety, continuous improvement and coaching bullets in every operations role.

Do

  • Cover all the areas FedEx names: work experience, education, training, skills, internships and certifications.
  • Lead with safety. FedEx asks its operations managers to champion "Safety Above All".
  • Show continuous improvement and change leadership. FedEx wants managers who find ways to improve processes.
  • Show coaching and motivating teams in a fast, high-volume setting.
  • Apply even if you don't meet every preferred qualification. FedEx says it still wants to talk.

Avoid

  • Don't send a résumé you haven't checked against the role. FedEx asks you to research the company and job first.
  • Don't leave out military training and certifications. FedEx lists training and certifications as résumé essentials.
