3 Apply on USAJOBS
Closes in 4 days (November 7, 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 online questionnaire are checked against the job's qualifications. If you are minimally qualified, your answers are compared with your resume to confirm your experience. Inflating your answers can cost you 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:
- Describe your drink-mixing and cash-handling experience clearly on your resume.
- Upload proof of age with your application, because it is required and missing it makes your application incomplete.
- Check that you have a REAL ID or other approved identity document, since you must be able to show it for base access.
- Your complete package, including the online questionnaire, must be submitted by 11:59 PM EST on the closing date.
