The job is open to the public. You must be a U.S. citizen, a U.S. national, or someone who owes allegiance to the U.S. The agency also says non-U.S. nationals may apply if they have lived in the U.S. or a U.S. territory for at least three continuous years right before starting federal employment.
Experience: You must show demonstrated ability and knowledge of the meat cutting duties listed, including operating a beef saw, pork saw, boning table, trimming table, and grinder, and cleaning and sanitizing equipment. This experience must be described in the duties of your past jobs on your resume. The announcement does not list a specific grade level for experience.

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 43 days (December 16, 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 application is checked against the minimum qualifications and reviewed for how well your experience matches the requirements. Your answers to the online questionnaire are also scored. Incomplete applications, including missing questionnaire answers, may be rated ineligible, and overstated experience may hurt your consideration.
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 be two pages or less and describe your meat cutting duties in past jobs, such as operating a saw, boning table, or grinder.
- Include contact information for professional references on your resume, as the agency recommends.
- Answer every questionnaire item, since missing answers can make your application ineligible.
