KSAs (Knowledge, Skills
and Abilities)
What are KSAs? KSAOs?
Federal
Job Applications:
When you apply for a Federal Government position, some Federal
job announcements require additional detailed statements. These
statements are known as KSAs - Knowledge, Skills, and Ability
statements. They also may be called Selective Factors, Key
Elements, TQs (Technical Qualification statements), KSAOs
(Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, and Other Characteristics). If
they are asked for, they are required.
What Do KSAs Require?
KSA Content:
For
many announcements, these questions are separate 3/4 to 2 page
answers to questions related to the job you are applying for.
Other announcements may specify other lengths - or may ask to
include answers to the KSAs in your RESUMIX resume. Some announcements
require you to cut and paste your KSA answers in an online application.
You will need to read each announcement carefully for the requirements.
We can help you to read these announcements to determine what
is required. Call us today at (800) 471-9201 for a free consultation.
How Do You Answer
KSAs?
Filling
out a KSA: KSAs
can be difficult questions to answer. Each KSA will be graded
from 5 to 20 points per answer - and are critical in being ranked
as "qualified" or "best qualified". We offer
our expertise in writing these statements, highlighting your
experience to ensure maximum KSA ranking. Call us today at (800)
471-9201 for a free consultation.
How Are KSAs Priced?
We price our
KSAs based on the amount of time it will take us to write them
for you. We write the KSAs so they can be reused for other positions
that ask similar questions - saving you money as you apply for
Federal positions.
What We Recommend?
Federal
Resume and KSA Package: We recommend that we write both your KSAs and
Federal Resume. By doing this, you will submit a complete package
that represents you at your best, with the Federal Resume including
all pertinent information in the KSAs. However, if you think
your Federal Resume is already a polished document, we are happy
just to write your KSAs.
