Who can apply: The public.
The job is open to the public, but you must be a U.S. citizen, a non-U.S. national, or someone who owes allegiance to the U.S. Applicants are sorted by hiring preferences such as military spouse or veteran preference, and you must submit proof of any eligibility you claim by the closing date.
Experience: You need practical knowledge of recreational activities, rules and procedures, and the ability to safeguard cash and make change. Experience with recreation equipment and facilities is helpful but not required. Paid, unpaid and volunteer experience all count.
Education: Education cannot replace experience for this position. Foreign education counts only if you show proof it is equal to a U.S. education.
Licenses and certifications:
- Valid driver's license
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 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 reviewed against the qualifications. If you appear to have inflated your experience to meet the requirements, 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:
- Your resume must clearly show your recreation experience, including any volunteer work, because the announcement says resumes are checked closely.
- Send proof for any preference you claim, such as DD-214 or spouse documents, by the closing date or your application will be incomplete.
- Education cannot replace experience here, so focus your resume on hands-on recreation or customer service work.
