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.

"I still can not thank you guys enough! I just finished NEO (New Employee Orientation) with Military Sealift Command. Out of the hundreds of applications they received, there were only 3 that were chosen for hire and mine was one of them. The company is on the verge of a hiring freeze and I am fortunate enough to have made it in the door thanks to your team. The KSA's were the determining factor in my getting hired! I will definitely be back to have my KSA's done. KSA's play an important role in the federal governmentt hiring process and is constantly stressed about their importance. Your team has done an outstanding job and I will be a returning customer."

L.A.

"I just wanted you and the writer of my KSA to know I GOT THE JOB!!!! Thanks to her expertise and wonderful writing skills. I was offered the job, and I start on Tuesday."
M.W.

"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."

Turn Around Time
Turn over time is 3 to 5 business days but a 12-business-hour rush order is available for an additional $69.95, if you need your KSA's sooner: KSA's being such complex documents, you should make sure that you have at least 5 business days left to get your application ready before the deadline (business days are Monday to Friday). However, if you need your KSA's very fast, ordering a rush is easy: just place the order for your KSA's online. You will then get access to our interactive resume desktop through which you can contact customer service to get your 12-hour rush.
