Your sample-work brief
Create a fictional goods-received and dispatch record. Label it as an original practice project for warehouse assistant work. Use invented or public information, and avoid names, private documents or records from an employer or client. A small well-explained sample is more useful than a large unexplained collection.
Define the deliverable
Include a clear objective, the steps you took and a short explanation of how the sample demonstrates stock checks, order accuracy, task coordination. Add the assumptions you made so a reviewer can understand the boundaries of your work.
- Introduce a complication involving a quantity mismatch before dispatch.
- Explain how you would compare records, separate the discrepancy and notify the responsible person.
- Record a check that would reveal an error or missing detail.
Show learning, not invented experience
Keep the original and revised version, then note what changed after feedback. Your portfolio should make your own contribution visible and distinguish practice work from professional delivery.
Before sharing, check that the link opens, the files are readable and the sample relates to the vacancy. For regulated or safety-sensitive work, keep the exercise non-operational and follow qualified supervision for real practice.
