Also known as Knowledge, Skills and Abilities, a KSA — or KSAO — is a series of narrative statements that must accompany Federal resumes when applying to Government job openings. A determing factor in the hiring process, a KSA is usually rated using a point system, from 1 to 10.

Written in the first person, KSA's feature a series of 3 to 10 questions that aim at showcasing in details how your profile fits the requirements of the job opening.

   Knowledge refers to an organized body of information usually of a factual or procedural nature
   which, if applied, makes adequate performance on the job possible.
   Skills refer to the — mental, manual or verbal — manipulation of data, things or people.
   Abilities refer to the ability to perform a mental or physical activity at the present time.

Federal recruiters now use KSA's to identify the best candidates and set up interviews. It is not only imperative that your KSA's are properly formatted, but your answers must feature the lingo and information that will convince the recruiter you are qualified for the job — poor responses or bad formatting might get you disqualified, even though you resume meets the job requirements.

Because KSA statements are so specific, preparing them yourself will require several hours of fastidious homework, with the risk of not delivering a satisfactory document — content-wise or format-wise — being high.

With years of experience and the right certification, a professional writer can make this task easy.

Here are a couple of the latest KSA testimonials we received (click here for more testimonials):

I wanted to let you know that I "made the list" for the government position I was applying for.
I know the KSA's you prepared for me worked, because I had applied for this same position in the past and did not make the list, because I was told that my KSA's were weak.

Thank you so much!...I could not have been more pleased with the product that I received from your company... I have just reviewed my KSA product and I am very pleased! It is exactly what I was expecting and the wording is excellent. I will definitely recommend you to co-workers who are in the same position as me.
