How they rate you: Your resume and online questionnaire are rated against the job's knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs). The best qualified applicants go to the hiring manager, and the selecting official may hold interviews. Missing required documents can affect your eligibility.

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, a security clearance (Other), then the final offer with your start date.
Tips for this job:
- Attach your high school diploma or GED, or your college transcripts, since they are required.
- Keep your resume to two pages or less and describe your food handling and sanitation experience clearly, because KSAs are rated.
- Check that your ID meets REAL ID rules if you will need base access.
