What is a KSA ?
When you apply
for a Federal Government position, some Federal job announcements
require additional statements. These statements are known as
KSA - Knowledge, Skills, and Ability statements. They
also may be called Selective Factors, Key Elements, TQs (Technical
Qualification statements), KSAO (Knowledge, Skills, Abilities,
and Other Characteristics). If they are asked for, they are required.
What a KSA Requires
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 KSA 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.
How You Answer 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 to start your process.
How We Price KSA
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?
We recommend
that we write both your KSA statements 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. Call us today at (800) 471-9201 for a free consultation
to start your process.
The Four Steps:
Step 1: The first step for
us to prepare your KSAs is for
you to contact us at (800) 471-9201 for a free consultation.
In our free consultation, we will determine what we need to do
to prepare your KSA package.
Step 2: We will review your
existing documentation and any positions you have identified
in the Federal Government that you are considering to apply for.
Step 3: Based on our free
review of your background, previously prepared documents, and
requirements for the position you are applying for, we will propose
a package to meet your requirements, priced according to the
projected hours of development for us to complete your package.
Step 4: Once you decide to
work with us, we will prepare a detailed questionnaire, designed
to find out how your experience matches the KSA requirements.
You choose whether to answer the questionnaire by writing out
answers to the questions or to have a phone consultation - you
choose the method that works best for you.
