I have posted several articles about writing great KSAs. This particular writing will give you some specific action verbs, nouns and descriptors you can incorporate into your writing as you build and develop your great KSAs otherwise known as knowledge skills and abilities.
The foremost purpose of writing great KSAs is to distinguish YOU as the candidate who fulfills most or all of the desired qualifications; stating your experience using descriptive words that characterize who you are thusly enticing the reader to continue reading. Below is a list of descriptive words you can use to succinctly characterize who you are and set yourself apart from other qualified candidates. Remember, how you market yourself in your KSAs is fundamental to being selected as a best qualified candidate and being referred to the selecting official.
These are just a few examples of some of the great verbiage you can incorporate into your KSAs transforming something ordinary into something extraordinary. For more ideas, consider adding a thesaurus to your personal library. Not only will you be developing and writing great KSAs, you’ll also expand upon your own verbal communicative vernacular, another highly desirable skill.
