4 After you apply

In USAJOBS, under Applications, you can see where your application stands: received, reviewed, referred to the hiring manager or not, then selected or not. It can take a few weeks.

For the interview, prepare three examples with the STAR method: the Situation, the Task, what you did (Action) and the Result.

If they choose you: a tentative offer, then a background check, a security clearance (Other), then the final offer with your start date.

Tips for this job:

Show customer service or recreation experience clearly in your resume, since that is the main qualification.
Send a college transcript with your application, since proof of education is listed as a required document.
Keep your resume to two pages or less, and apply online only, because email and in-person applications are not accepted.
