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.

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. Applicants are grouped by hiring preferences, such as military spouse, veteran, or transition hiring preference, and must prove any preference they claim.

What you would do

  • Plan menus for regular meals, fine dining, and parties.
  • Work as a chef and run daily kitchen operations.
  • Instruct cooks on cooking methods and food preparation techniques.
  • Check food quality during and after preparation.
  • Manage food costs, budgets, payroll, and monthly inventories.
  • Recruit, staff, and train the kitchen workforce.

Do you qualify for NF-3?

With experience: You need progressively responsible experience in quantity cooking, menu planning, food quality and cost control, food inventory and storage, and buying food and equipment. The experience must include supervising staff, and you must know dietetics, culinary planning, and portion control. The announcement does not give a grade level for this experience.

With education: Education can be used in place of experience for this job. Education from a foreign school must be shown to be equal to a U.S. education, and you must provide that proof yourself.

How to apply well

What to send:

  • Resume (required) that clearly describes your relevant experience and supervision
  • Cover letter (optional, listed as accepted)
  • Transcripts if you qualify through education
  • Proof of any hiring preference you claim, such as DD-214 for veterans
  • Diploma or GED, license, or professional certification if they support your application

How you will be rated: Your resume, supporting documents, and questionnaire answers are compared to the qualifications. If you are minimally qualified, your resume is compared to your questionnaire answers to check your experience level. Applicants whose resume is found to overstate their experience may lose consideration, and incomplete or incorrect applications may affect eligibility.

Tips for this job:

  • Your resume must clearly show supervising staff and experience in cooking, menu planning, food costs, and inventory.
  • Send transcripts if you qualify through education, and proof of any preference you claim, or your application will be incomplete.
  • Make sure you can provide a REAL ID or approved base access documents before applying.
