Package Handler | Warehouse & Parcel Sorting Operative
Connacht Express Cargo
Dear Hiring Team,
I am writing to express my interest in the Package Handler position at Connacht Express Cargo. With direct experience in high-volume depot sorting, handheld RF barcode scanning, and outbound pallet staging in Galway, I am eager to contribute to your warehouse operations and assist your team in maintaining dependable on-time dispatch schedules.
In my current role as a Package Handler with Corrib Express Logistics, I sort incoming parcels according to regional route codes, processing an average of 420 parcels per hour during peak distribution windows. I operate handheld RF scanners to update shipment statuses within the tracking database, maintaining a 99.8% logging accuracy. My daily responsibilities also include inspecting cartons for physical damage, repacking compromised packages in accordance with depot handling guidelines, and securing loaded pallets with industrial shrink wrap to ensure freight remains stable during line-haul transport.
This hands-on sorting work builds on my background as a Stockroom Assistant at Claddagh Retail Superstore, where I unloaded daily delivery trucks, checked incoming inventory against packing slips to identify discrepancies, and maneuvered boxed goods into stockroom racking using manual pallet trucks. Across all my depot and retail duties, I have prioritized warehouse health and safety, holding a valid Manual Handling Certification and completing coursework in Business and Retail Operations to maintain tidy, safe transit aisles.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my parcel-sorting pace, scanning compliance, and physical manual handling skills align with the distribution needs of Connacht Express Cargo. Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to the possibility of speaking with you.
Yours sincerely,
Fiona Connolly
