Jobs for a forklift driver: search and quick applications

Warehouses, logistics centres, factories and supermarket chains all hire forklift drivers. There are plenty of jobs, and you can apply to ten of them in a few minutes. Here is how.

What job posts ask for most

A forklift operator licence
Experience with electric or gas forklifts, stackers and reach trucks
Working with a scanner and warehouse software (WMS)
Shift work, including night shifts
A medical certificate, care and following safety rules

How to set up filters in AutoApply

Put the job's words in the "Keywords in the job" field, not only technologies: "навантажувач", "погрузчик", "forklift", "reach truck". Choose the "at least one" mode and add your city to the locations.

Stop words in the job title drop what does not fit you: for example "вахта" (rotation work) if you do not want to move to another city, or "abroad" if you want a job in Ukraine.

These jobs are mostly on Work.ua and Robota.ua. Those sites do not allow bots, so applications there are semi-automatic: the Chrome extension collects jobs from the search page, the AI writes a letter for each, and you press "Send". That is still several times faster than by hand.

A short sample letter

The employer reads the first lines, so the letter must be short and concrete. A sample the AI adapts to each job:

"Hello! I am writing about the forklift driver position. I hold a licence and have four years of warehouse experience with a supermarket chain: electric forklift and reach truck, scanner work. I am ready for shift work and can start soon."

You can generate your own letter for a specific job for free, no sign-up.
