3 Apply on USAJOBS
Closes in 6 days (November 9, 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 application is first checked against the qualifications. Your resume and documents are then compared with your questionnaire answers to rate your experience. If the announcement finds you inflated your answers, you may lose consideration.
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:
- List any bowling or recreation facility experience clearly on your resume, since the questionnaire and resume are compared.
- Send proof of any preference you claim, such as a DD-214, with your application by the closing date, or it may be marked incomplete.
- Include full contact information for your references on your resume, as the announcement recommends.
