Cook

Air Mobility Command · Department of the Air Force

This job in plain English

This is a permanent Cook job at the Strike Zone Bowling Center on Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas. It is run by Air Force Services, a nonappropriated fund (NAF) program under Air Mobility Command, which pays for its own operations rather than from tax appropriations. The schedule is intermittent with no guaranteed hours, and there are few vacancies.

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. You must be a U.S. citizen or a non-U.S. citizen with at least 3 years of U.S. residency, and preferences apply for military spouses, veterans, and certain other groups.

What you would do

  • Prepare and cook simple items like pancakes, eggs, and hamburgers.
  • Cook hot cereals, broiled meats, soups, sauces, and gravies.
  • Make cold sandwich fillings and prepare convenience foods.
  • Chop, slice, dice, and measure ingredients for menu items.
  • Set up and restock the salad bar.
  • Portion food, store leftovers, and clean equipment.

Do you qualify for NA-4?

With experience: You need experience with food preparation and presentation gained in a grill, snack bar, restaurant, club, or similar food setting. Paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work, counts. The announcement also requires ability to follow instructions, work safely, do simple arithmetic, and season food.

With education: Education cannot replace experience for this job.

Licenses and certifications you need:

  • Food Handler's Certificate, or ability to complete food handler's training

How to apply well

What to send:

  • Resume, required, in any format, showing your relevant experience
  • Cover letter, optional
  • DD-214 if you claim veterans' preference
  • Marriage certificate and sponsor's orders if you claim military spouse preference

How you will be rated: After the announcement closes, your resume, supporting documents, and online questionnaire answers are reviewed against the job qualifications. If you are minimally qualified, your resume is compared with your questionnaire answers to judge your experience level, and you may lose consideration if your materials appear inflated.

Tips for this job:

  • Your resume must clearly describe your food service experience, with dates, so reviewers can match it to the qualifications.
  • If you claim veterans' or military spouse preference, send the matching proof with your application, or you may be marked incomplete.
  • Bring REAL ID or other approved identity documents, because base access requires them if you are selected.
