TECHNICAL APPROACH

The first step to achieving career advancement is acquiring your recession proof resume package.
Resume & Writing Solutions specializes in writing Knowledge, Skill, Ability, and Accomplishment (KSAA) driven resume and cover letter packages that:

Use achievement-oriented language that emphasizes your accomplishments instead of recycling

boring resume content

Create an immediate visual punch with ATS-digestible formatting that makes you instantly stand out rather than regurgitating standard bland, common and repetitive layout

Weave in targeted keywords into your resume content that make it easy for recruiters to
identify you in their databases instead of glazing over your uninspiring, empty words

Produce a resume layout that makes it EASY for a hiring manager's brain to absorb your
honest assets instead of trying to hide your resume blemishes, conceal your jumpy background, or downplay your recent lack of success

Each job description within a KSAA driven resume will address duties key results/accomplishments.

​

Within the duties section of your resume, we will incorporate your career experience with industry jargon specific to your target career position. Within the key results/accomplishments section, we will outline productivity and how well you did this task/responsibility.

​

Not sure how to write your Key Results? Here are some examples of achievement-driven resume key results:

Managed project to upgrade defect sensing and marking devices, resulting in the elimination of human inspection on line, saving $200,000 to $350,000 per year.
Initiated and managed tracking systems used for the Green District water decontamination project, saving $125,000 on the overall project through a 30% decrease of staff allocation time.
Supervised 7-12 undergraduate research students each year who have all since gone on to graduate school in astrophysics, physics, or mathematics.
Reviewed and evaluated 40-50 topical articles per week and made the decision to either pass articles to the editorial team or send articles back to authors sex for further revisions.
Chaired promotional committee of 12 and presented marketing plans to an audience of 40 to 60 students at weekly university senate meetings open to all 2,000 community members.

Are you targeting

FEDERAL

EMPLOYMENT?

No problem at all.

It is highly unlikely that you will have to develop separate KSAs for vacancies these days. As a
part of the Federal-Wide Hiring Reform Initiative (streamlining the hiring process), 89% of federal agencies have committed to the elimination of the requirement of narrative Knowledge, Skills and Ability (KSA) from the initial application in the hiring process. Therefore, as an applicant for this announcement, you are most likely NOT required to provide a narrative response for each KSA.
 
In lieu of providing a KSA narrative response, they want you to include in your work history clear, concise and supported evidence that describes how you meet the answer you choose for each KSA in the online assessment questionnaire. Your work history examples should be specific and clearly reflect the highest level of ability. Your KSA answers will be cross-referenced to the answers you give in the online assessment questionnaire to validate whether the level that you selected is appropriate. Your answers may be adjusted as appropriate and you might even be dropped from consideration if they don’t see support for your answers in your resume.
