Government Resumes & KSA Responses

The knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs) necessary for the successful performance of a government position are contained on each job vacancy announcement. KSAs are often times referred to on vacancy announcements as: Evaluation Factors, Rating Factors, Quality Ranking Factors, Knowledge, Abilities, Skills and Other Characteristics, or Job Elements.

Well-written KSA responses will set you apart from other candidates for the same job. How important is it to address the KSAs when applying for a job vacancy? Consider this definition of KSAs previously referenced in the “The Federal Personnel Manual”: “The factors that identify the better candidates from a group of persons basically qualified for a position.” The ranking of job candidates is primarily derived from the scores received during the ranking process. The scores are computed based upon the information obtained from the KSAs.

Attach your resume/CV and we will contact you about creating your KSA and if necessary, a government resume.

Greetings Peter,

I hope you’re doing well. The resume preparation process is almost complete, and I should be receiving the final version from Daniel shortly. He’s done an exceptional job capturing my 20-year career in just 2.5 pages, and I’m very impressed with his work. Thank you again for your support.

Best regards,– Seun A.

Hey Jeanie!

I remade the suggested edits and am resending this as a new document in case it got buried last week, or something happened on my end.
It’s great! Very small tweaks. Thanks so much for your hard work on this. What are the next steps?

Best regards,– Christopher H.

Dear Jeanie, Thanks for the first draft, I like it. You have done a great job. Thanks again. According to your request I have made the necessary corrections with blue (and a larger font size). Please provide me with the next version. Thanks. Have a nice day!

Best regards,– Gabor T.

Sorry for the delayed response. I wanted to read it over on several different days. My first impression: I did the right thing in hiring your team. Great job in taking a diffused blob and making it concise. Thanks for the great work.

Best regards,– Bob S.

I received the draft back from Jeanie and it looks great! I’m working through the edits with her. Question for you – you mentioned that I would have access to apply to positions or headhunters in 3 industries. (If I said that right). Can you tell me more about that and how we will move forward once ready? Thanks,

Best regards,– Chad S.
