Cook

Air Education and Training Command · Department of the Air Force

This job in plain English

This is a cook job at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona, run by the Air Education and Training Command. It is a Non-appropriated Fund (NAF) position, which means it is paid from base recreation funds rather than regular federal money, and it is assigned to Club Five Six. There are few vacancies and the work schedule is intermittent, meaning hours are as needed.

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, U.S. nationals, and people who owe allegiance to the U.S. Certain preference groups, such as military spouses and veterans, get priority, and you must prove any eligibility you claim.

What you would do

  • Prepare simple dishes such as pancakes, eggs, sausage, and hamburgers.
  • Prepare hot cereals, broiled meats, soups, sauces, and gravies.
  • Prepare convenience items like frozen hash browns, fish fillets, and chicken nuggets.
  • Peel, chop, slice, and bread ingredients; measure and assemble menu items.
  • Set up and refill the salad bar; portion food for meals.
  • Cover, date, and store leftovers; wash and clean kitchen equipment.

Do you qualify for NA-4?

With experience: You must have experience preparing and presenting food in a grill, snack bar, restaurant, club, or similar food setting. Paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work, counts. The announcement does not give a number of years.

With education: Education cannot replace experience at this grade. Education from a foreign school counts only if you show it is equivalent to a U.S. education.

How to apply well

What to send:

  • Resume describing your relevant food experience (required)
  • Proof of any eligibility or preference you claim, such as DD-214 for veterans or SF-50 for current federal employees

How you will be rated: 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 are inflated.

Tips for this job:

  • Your resume must clearly describe your food preparation experience, since education cannot replace it.
  • Attach proof for any preference you claim, or your application may be marked incomplete.
  • Be ready for a background investigation and a pre-employment physical, and confirm you can lift 40 pounds.

Good to know before you apply
