Who can apply: The public.

This 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. Non-citizens with fewer than three years of recent U.S. residence may be ruled ineligible.

Experience: Three years of experience in a food and beverage operation, plus one year of supervisory experience in a food service operation. The announcement does not give a comparable grade level for this experience.

Education: This job is not in a positive education series, so education is not listed as a way to qualify.

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 4 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 résumé is first checked for eligibility and minimum qualifications. It is then rated on your knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) using a set rating scale, and the best qualified applicants go to the hiring manager. Interviews may be held, and missing official transcripts when qualifying by education results in an ineligibility rating.

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, a security clearance (Other), then the final offer with your start date.

Tips for this job:

Keep your résumé to two pages or less and show your food and beverage and supervisory experience clearly.
Apply online only; applications sent by email or in person are not accepted.
If you claim education to qualify, send official transcripts, not diplomas or degree audits.
