3 Apply on USAJOBS
Closes in 97 days (February 1, until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time).
Applications received by the initial cut-off date of October 13, 2026 may be referred to the selecting official before the closing date, and further referrals happen every two weeks after that.
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 application, resume, supporting documents, and questionnaire answers will be reviewed against the qualifications. If you are tentatively qualified, your questionnaire answers will be checked against your resume, and overstated experience can hurt your chances, while incomplete applications, including skipped questionnaire items, may be rated ineligible.
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:
- Make sure your resume is two pages or less and clearly lists food preparation, sanitation, cash handling, and kitchen equipment experience
- Upload your complete application by 11:59 PM Eastern on the closing date, since uploaded files can take up to an hour to clear virus scanning
- If you apply on paper, deliver it to the West Point CPAC by 3 PM on the closing date and plan extra time for the visitor center check
