Guest Services Manager
Pacific Air Forces · Department of the Air Force
This job in plain English
This is a full-time supervisory job as a Guest Services Manager at the Lodging Facility on Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska, run by Pacific Air Forces. It is a Non-Appropriated Fund (NAF) position, which means it is paid from base morale and recreation activities rather than regular tax-funded budgets. The job includes a few vacancies, and the schedule can include shift work.
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 job is open to the public, but applicants must be U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or people who owe allegiance to the U.S. Preferences such as military spouse, veteran, and transition hiring preference may apply, and proof of eligibility must be submitted.
What you would do
- Manage front desk and reservation operations for the lodging guest reception area.
- Accept group and individual room reservations based on available space.
- Register guests, assign rooms, issue keys, and handle payments and checkouts.
- Prepare daily cashier and activity reports and safeguard cash receipts.
- Schedule staff, set performance standards, and handle complaints and grievances.
- Maintain the retail inventory of sundry and beverage items for guests.
Do you qualify for NF-3?
With experience: You must have front desk experience from a military or civilian hotel and the ability to build teams. You also need general clerical or cashier experience that shows you can handle multiple tasks, give good customer service, solve basic arithmetic, and make change. Supervisory experience in another lodging area, such as housekeeping, can replace front desk experience.
With education: This position does not allow education to replace experience.
Licenses and certifications you need:
- Valid state driver's license
How to apply well
What to send:
- Resume that clearly describes your relevant experience (required)
- Proof of eligibility for any preference you claim, such as a DD-214 for veterans
- Optional supporting documents such as a cover letter or professional certification
How you will be rated: Your resume and supporting documents are checked against the job qualifications, and applicants who meet the minimum are compared with their questionnaire answers. If it appears you exaggerated your answers, you may lose consideration for the job.
Tips for this job:
- Your resume must clearly show your front desk, cashier, or supervisory experience with dates and details, since education cannot substitute.
- If you claim a veterans' or other preference, upload the proof with your application, or your application will be incomplete.
- Upload your resume early, because documents can take several hours to clear the virus scan before you submit by the closing date.
