KSA, PTQ, and ECQ Writing and Editing

We excel in writing and editing KSA's, PTQ's, and ECQ's for government positions. KSA=Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities. PTQ=Professional and Technical Qualifications. ECQ=Executive Core Qualifications. These statements are like essay questions on a test. Think of them like a mini-interview--on paper!

We have been writing successful narrative statements for more than 16 years! We use a successful process to write specific experiences from your background that will demonstrate your abilities. We will edit them for correct grammar, punctuation, content flow, logical organization, and ensure specific examples demonstrating your experience effectively answer the statements specific to the job announcement. We will ensure you have answered these statements using the CCAR (Content, Challenge, Action, Result) method of writing or the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) method of writing. These are two methods that hiring managers and federal personnel officers prefer. Both methods have proven to be very successful. We provide the following services for KSA's, ECQ's, PTQ's:

• Ensure proper verbs, nouns, and key words that emphasize your experience.
• Ensure clear and concise answers.
• Create sentences and paragraphs to continue a thought or flow of a sentence.
• We will create, design, and format your answers to match your federal resume, if we assist you with your resume making your application a strong content, high-impact, and visually-appealing documents.
• We will ensure the correct information is identified in the heading.
• We will ensure the KSA, ECQ, and PTQ statements are correct for GS-levels and SES levels.
• We will edit and improve upon what you have given us to ensure the best possible demonstration of your skills and abilities. If you need help getting started, we can do that, too. We have proven, successful methods of "picking your brain" for information.

Each statement should be at least one page in length. PTQ's and ECQ's can and should be longer, but the announcement will usually address the length. They need to specifically demonstrate your knowledge, skills, and abilities to do what the narrataive statement asks. They need to come from YOUR experiences, not duties. Duties and accomplishments go on the resume. Narrative statements need to demonstrate and complement the experience you list on your resume. You should not be afraid to detail this by giving examples that demonstrate your knowledge, skills, and abilities and by making it interesting to the reader. By making it interesting, you will stand out from your competition. You can score higher for each statement if they are well-written and well thought out.

We cannot and will not make up narrative statements for ethical reasons. Narrative statements need to be from your experience. You will need to be able to defend your statements in an interview and possibly answer even in more detail during the interview. We will provide direction on how to answer them and what to include. We provide a method to obtain information from you, then from there we gather more detail to complete the statements. The process can be a bit time-consuming, so do not delay if you are up against a deadline.
