Waiter

U.S. Air Forces, Europe · Department of the Air Force

This job in plain English

This is a waiter job at the Liberty Club on RAF Lakenheath in the United Kingdom, run by U.S. Air Forces, Europe. It is a Non-appropriated Fund (NAF) job, which means it supports the base's Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) activities rather than regular federal funding. It is a permanent position with few openings and requires shift work on days, evenings, weekends and holidays.

Can you apply?

Yes, if you are a U.S. citizen: this job is open to everyone.

  • Open to everyoneAny U.S. citizen or national can apply. Some jobs also accept non-citizens; the announcement says so.

Open to U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and legal residents of the U.S. who live within 60 miles of RAF Lakenheath, or will move there within 30 days. British citizens may not apply, and applicants cannot be 'ordinarily resident' in the UK (more than 366 days there without a link to the U.S. Visiting Forces).

What you would do

  • Set tables with clean linen, glasses, and silverware.
  • Greet guests, take their orders, and explain menu and wine choices.
  • Bring food from the kitchen and serve dishes in course order.
  • Give guests their checks after the meal.
  • Clear dishes and clean the dining area as time allows.

Do you qualify for NA-3?

With experience: You need experience or training in food handling and serving, knowledge of menu items and wines, cash handling and simple math, and skill dealing with the public. Paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work, counts. The announcement does not give a number of years or a grade-level match.

With education: Education cannot replace experience for this job. Foreign education can count only if you show it is equivalent to a U.S. education.

Licenses and certifications you need:

  • Food Handler's Certificate, or completed food handler's training (you must be able to obtain it)

How to apply well

What to send:

  • Resume that clearly describes your relevant experience
  • Proof of your eligibility and any claimed preference, such as a DD-214 for veterans' preference
  • Proof of U.S. residency status and residency in the UK
  • Documents for any claimed preference, such as proof of marriage for spouse preference

How you will be rated: Your application will be checked for minimum qualifications, then your resume and documents are compared with your questionnaire answers to rate your experience. If you are found to have inflated your qualifications or experience, you may lose consideration, and errors or omissions may affect your eligibility.

Tips for this job:

  • Show clearly on your resume that you live within 60 miles of RAF Lakenheath, or plan to within 30 days, and provide proof of residency.
  • Describe food serving, cash handling, and customer service work in detail, since your resume must show this experience.
  • Have a REAL ID or the other approved documents ready so you can access the base if selected.

Good to know before you apply
