How to Find Good KSA Writers

By Chucky Bronson

When looking into getting a Federal jobs, you typically need to send two types of documents: a government resume, which is a resume that is exclusively designed for government jobs and KSA statements, which are short essays that must showcase that you have the right knowledge, skills and abilities for the job.

Just like government resumes, KSA essays must follow specific guidelines - whether its in term of format or content - and answer all the questions listed in the job announcement. KSAs should not be ignored as, in some cases, they have more importance than a resume to get an interview or even a job.

Because writing KSA essays is not only difficult but also requires being a talented writer, most candidates are now hiring KSA writers to write their answers for them. Finding a great KSA writing service might not be simple when youre new to this and here are a few things that should help you find a good KSA writing service:

First, a professional KSA writer should be certified, which will assure that they have the right credentials. There are quite a few types of credentials out there but with PARW, CPRW or NARW, you know you are in good hands as they are premier sources for certification.

Second, professional KSA writers should obviously be specialized in writing KSA documents, government resumes and preparing Federal job applications so that they know all the guidelines - this usually means that they took special classes and trainings in that field.

Third, see how many years of experience they have " the more, the better, as you would not want to put your career in the hands of a newbie! Also look for any type of info about the achievements they had. While a success rate is the best way to make sure they can indeed get great results, also look for testimonials, comments, etc

Fourth, check out what is their delivery time. This is very important as, Federal vacancy announcements having deadlines, you want to make sure you will get your KSAs back in time.

Last but not least look at their prices, especially as some companies overcharge for that service (its usually the case when they dont give their prices online and ask you to call in for a quote). To give you an idea, you should not disburse more than $150 for 5 KSA answers. - 16747
