Can you apply?

Yes, if you are a U.S. citizen: this job is open to everyone.

  • Open to everyoneAny U.S. citizen or national can apply. Some jobs also accept non-citizens; the announcement says so.

The announcement is open to the public, but NAF jobs in Germany follow the Status of Forces Agreement. You must be a U.S. citizen, or a citizen of a NATO country with a U.S. permanent resident card. Citizens of Germany and U.S. citizens who are ordinarily resident in Germany are not eligible.

  • Deliver clean linens to storage areas and collect dirty linens
  • Load, unload and arrange cargo
  • Check fluid levels and tire air pressure, and clean vehicles
  • Sort, count, bundle and tag dirty linens for contractor pickup

What to send:

If you are found to have overstated your qualifications, you may lose consideration, and errors or missing items may affect your eligibility.

Tips for this job:

  • Make sure your resume clearly shows your driving and cargo-loading experience, since that is what qualifies you.
