Who can apply: The public.
The job is open to the public, but applicants must be U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or people who owe allegiance to the U.S. Preference categories such as veterans, military spouses, and transition hires are also considered, and proof must be submitted by the closing date.
Experience: You need experience in recreation, sports, or fitness programs, which can include volunteer work, showing you know the routines, rules, and equipment. You also need experience with cash handling, making change, and basic computer use. The announcement does not state a grade level for this experience.
Education: Education can be used in place of experience for this position. Education from a foreign school must be shown to be equal 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.
