You hear a lot about the importance of KSA's and how to write them,
but here are some fundamentals you don't normally see.

What is the difference between Knowledge ...Skill...Ability?

Let's look at some helpfull definitions

* Knowledge is factual or "How To" data applied to the position.

* Skill is good old fashioned Know How in managing data, things or people.

* Ability is your talent or the knack you have in doing a mental or physical activity.

As you can gather from the definitions above,Ksa's are detailed. More so that even the Federal Resume.

You need to include real life instances or situations where you actually demonstrated the "Knowledge Skills and Abilities" requested.

You should also use any examples or data that helps demonstrate your qualifications. Items such as like Training, Awards, Education, Volunteer Work, anything that actually applies to the position and has relevance to the questions asked.

Whether you write them yourself or have your KSA's done professionally, they are too important to the hiring process to do in an unprofessional manner.

If the job is important to you, really, have a pro do them for you!
