Who can apply: The public.
The job is open to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and people who owe allegiance to the U.S. Applicants are placed by preference categories such as military spouse, veteran, and transition hiring, and must prove any eligibility they claim.
Experience: You need practical knowledge of recreational activities, rules, and procedures. The announcement does not give a number of years or a grade match. Experience handling cash and using recreation equipment is helpful but not required.
Education: Education cannot replace experience for this job. Foreign education can count only if you show proof it is equal to a U.S. education.
Licenses and certifications:
- Current state driver's license
- Food Handler's Certification, completed within a set time after hire
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
Write a federal resume for this job. For each job you held, give the month and year you started and ended, your hours per week and what you did, using the words of the experience the announcement asks for. Many announcements accept resumes of up to 2 pages: check this one.
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 resume, supporting documents, and questionnaire answers are checked against the qualifications. If you are minimally qualified, your resume is compared with your questionnaire answers, and you may lose consideration if your answers appear inflated.
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:
- Show practical knowledge of recreation activities, rules, and procedures on your resume with dates and hours.
- Include a valid state driver's license and be ready to show it, since the job requires one.
- Upload every required document with your application, because a missing resume or proof of preference makes the application incomplete.
