Please don't copy and paste responsibilities from any website as I can do this myself. A KSA explains clearly what you learned from your position and how you can use those knowledge, skills and assessments for the position you are applying for, which I listed in detail above. I will not accept an answer that was plagiarized, one that was not thoroughly researched or one that does not list the requirements I asked for above. If you have never done a KSA please don't send a request to answer this post. This is a government job, so EVERYTHING is scrutinized. I am too busy to do this, otherwise I would have done it myself.

Thanks!
