1 Check you can apply You are here
Who can apply: The public.
The job is open to the public. You must be a U.S. citizen, or a citizen of a NATO country with a valid U.S. permanent resident card and a Social Security Number, and you must be at Aviano Air Base on orders; Italian citizens may not apply for these NAF jobs. You must also show proper documents that you are already a supported member of Aviano Air Base, since the squadron is not currently providing logistical support.
Experience: You need practical knowledge of recreational activities, rules, and procedures. Paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work, counts. Experience handling cash and using or maintaining recreation equipment is desirable but not required.
Education: Education cannot be used in place of experience for this job. Education from a foreign college or university can count if you show proof it is equivalent to a U.S. education.
Experience can be paid or unpaid, volunteer work included: if it matches the duties, it counts. The full rules are in the announcement.
2 Resume and documents

3 Apply on USAJOBS
Closes in 2 days (November 5, until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time).
You sign in to USAJOBS with a Login.gov account, answer the questionnaire and upload your documents, then you submit. Answer the questionnaire honestly: your resume must show what you claim.
How they rate you: Your resume, supporting documents, and questionnaire answers are reviewed to see if you meet the minimum qualifications, then your level of experience is compared against your questionnaire answers to rank you. If the review finds you have inflated your qualifications or experience, you may lose consideration, and errors or omissions may affect your eligibility.
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, then the final offer with your start date.
Tips for this job:
- Include documents showing you are already a supported member of Aviano Air Base, or your application may not be considered.
- Upload proof of citizenship or residency and PCS orders, because missing documents make the application incomplete.
- Describe your recreation experience clearly in your resume, including any volunteer work, since education cannot replace experience here.
