KSAs or no KSAs in the Federal Application?

Most agencies (96%) are no longer requiring that you submit KSA essay responses the initial time you apply to a Federal job.  However, if your application appeals to the HR Specialist, you may  receive a request to submit KSA essays after you've applied.  They may ask you to submit your essays before an interview is extended to you, or you may be asked to bring your KSA essays to an interview.  Alternatively, you may be asked to write your essays in the actual interview (probably after a successful interview)!  The bottom line is that the KSA essay has not disappeared and you may be asked to submit some written essays if you are going to move forward in the application process.  The reason is simple.  The work we do in the government requires writing – an email, report to Congress, etc.  The agencies interested in you want to make sure you can put some sentences together to get your point across using proper grammar and plain language.
