3 Apply on USAJOBS
Closes in 2 days (November 5, 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: 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.
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:
- 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.
