Upon applying for a federal job, you will be asked to provide KSA responses. In layman's words, KSAs are tools that employers use to filter out applicants for a certain job. On your part as a job seeker, KSAs should serve as a way to expound on your experience that the resume may not be able to tell. In the competitive hiring process, the individual who gets hired for the federal job usually has the best KSAs. This book shows examples of effective KSAs that have worked for real people. The book doesn't simply "tell" how to write KSAs; it actually "shows" how to write KSAs in multiple samples across a variety of fields. This book will help to simplify the federal hiring process as it illuminates one of the most complex features of getting a government job: writing the KSA narratives. The use of these KSA essays changed in late 2010 by federal mandate (2010 Federal Hiring Reform), and this guidebook will address how these essays will be utilized in 2011 and beyond.

If you are a job seeker and want to improve your KSA writing, then this book is for you. Make no mistake, learning to write great KSAs is absolutely a comprehensive exercise in writing and one most people find daunting, intimidating, and unapproachable. KSA statements or narratives are unique to the federal government and in my experience, there is seldom a time you will not be required to write one if you are seeking employment in the federal service. Persuasive, powerful, writing can be a work of art. Think about some of the great writers and literary composers throughout history. They all had a uniquely identifiable style and appealed to a broad audience or readers.
