Do you know what a KSA is?  Do you dread writing your KSAs?  Do you apply for federal jobs and never get an interview?

If you answered yes to these questions, then the KSA Workbook is a "MUST HAVE" publication for you! 

KSAs ... Knowledges, Skills and Abilities ... that list of special qualifications and personal attributes that someone has decided you should have in order to fill a particular job.  It's not enough that you meet the basic qualifications for the position and have the specialized experience that's required.  It's not enough that you have a polished and up-to-date applications package that clearly lays out all your experience and expertise.  Now you have to put more time and effort into developing a "supplemental statement" or "essay", a set of responses to these additional evaluation factors that may be relevant only to this job vacancy.  And you have to do it in time to meet an incredibly short application deadline.

KSAs are the single most important aspect of your federal application and our workbook will help you craft job-winning KSAs.

More Information

Not sure what a KSA looks like...how long they should be...what writing style is used.  Then take your KSA writing a step further - our KSA Sampler is loaded with over 70 sample KSA responses to help you avoid "writer's block" and prepare clear and concise KSA statements.

While guidelines and structured formats are useful tools for developing KSA statements, many job hunters prefer to have such advice illustrated.  In The KSA Sampler, we concentrate on examples; you'll find numerous ways that qualified candidates might respond to the identified KSAs for a range of occupations and grades.  While the vacancies and the KSAs are drawn from actual, now outdated vacancy announcements, the responses are fictional and not intended to describe a current job hunter.  Their value is in showing how unique experience and accomplishments can be presented in ways that best respond to a job's specific requirements.

Review our sample KSAs and identify those that, with the substitution of a few keywords, are similar to KSAs you encounter when applying for federal jobs. 

The library of samplers included in this book are designed to help you find the best way to respond with your background to the KSAS you personally face.  This workbook will help you familiarize yourself with various approaches to responding to KSAs and to focus on what works best for you with your unique set of skills and interests.
