[h4]What are KSAs?[/h4]
KSAs -- Knowledge, Skill, Ability
Specific KSAs are needed in performing certain jobs. Individual KSAs are demonstrated through qualifying experience, education, or training. KSAs are defined as:
- Knowledge - an organized body of information, usually factual or procedural in nature. For example, having knowledge of human resources' rules and regulations could be used as a KSA for a Human Resources Specialist position. To respond to this KSA, you should indicate what human resources rules and regulations you are familiar with, discuss how you applied these rules and regulations in the work environment, and describe other significant situations you were involved in where you applied these rules and regulations.
- Skill - the proficient manual, verbal, or mental manipulation of data or things. For example, having skill with operating personal computers could be used as a KSA for an Office Automation position. To respond to this KSA, you should indicate what type of personal computers you have operated, discuss the various types of software programs you have used, and describe how these programs were used in your work environment.
- Ability - the power or capacity to perform an activity or task. For example, having the ability to use a variety of laboratory instruments could be used towards a Laboratory Technician position. To respond, you should describe the types of laboratory instruments you have used, discuss the types of assignments you completed using the laboratory equipment, and describe the impact using the laboratory equipment had on your work environment.

Smoke, you have to have a TS (Top Secret), but the good news is that for the most part if you got a Secret then you can get a TS. The difference is for a TS they investigate 10 years of your past (or more if they feel the need to investigate further) and a Secret they only investigate 7 years back. Also for a TS they do a Personal Security Interview where an investigator will come to your house and interview you, and also they'll ask for the names of at least 3 people that know you well so they can interview them. They will also interview your neighbors and sometimes your college professors. But like I said, 8 times out of 10 if you got a Secret you should be able to obtain a TS.
