About the role
A courier operations assistant helps parcels move through intake, sorting, handover and tracking with a reliable record at each stage. Interviewers will look for careful handling, strong attention to labels and scans, and sensible escalation when a shipment cannot follow the normal process.
How to prepare
- Review the basic parcel flow from acceptance through sorting, dispatch and delivery.
- Practise checking labels and addresses for conflicting or missing information.
- Prepare an example of catching an error before it affected a customer.
- Think through safe responses to damaged, leaking or unidentified parcels.
Common mistakes
- Guessing the correct route when a label contains conflicting information.
- Moving a damaged parcel without isolating it and recording the issue.
- Giving a customer a location that the tracking record does not support.
