Who can apply: The public.
The job is open to the public, but you must be a U.S. citizen, a U.S. national, or a person who owes allegiance to the U.S. Applicants are sorted by hiring preferences such as military spouse, veteran, and transition preferences.
Experience: The announcement lists paid or unpaid experience that qualifies you. It includes lifting up to 20 pounds, math skills for calculating bills and taking inventory, and skill in mixing and serving alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks. No specific grade-level match is stated.
Education: Education cannot replace experience for this job. Education from a foreign school can count only if you show proof it is equal to a U.S. education.
Licenses and certifications:
- Food Handlers certification, which you must complete within a set time after hire or assignment
Experience can be paid or unpaid, volunteer work included: if it matches the duties, it counts. The full rules are in the announcement.

3 Apply on USAJOBS
Closes in 6 days (November 9, 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 questionnaire, resume, and supporting documents are checked against the job qualifications. If your answers or experience appear inflated, you may lose consideration for the job.
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:
- Show lifting, math, and beverage-serving experience clearly on your resume
- Include proof of your age and any hiring preference you claim
- Send transcripts and proof of equivalence if you rely on foreign education
