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 closing date, your resume, supporting documents and online questionnaire answers are reviewed against the qualifications. If you are found to have inflated your answers to meet the requirements, you may lose consideration, and errors or omissions may affect your eligibility.
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 food preparation experience in a grill, snack bar, restaurant or club on your resume, since that is the required experience.
- Include proof of any preference you claim, such as a DD-214, because documents must be submitted with your application.
- Submit everything by 11:59 PM EST on 11/09/2026, and upload files early because they may take several hours to clear the virus scan.
