Federal KSAOs

Norstar Writing Will Write Your Federal Resume & KSAOs

Give yourself an edge over the competition when it comes to your Federal Government application. Norstar Writing will prepare your resume and your Knowledge, Skills and Ability statements and Other technical competencies (KSAOs).

Great Qualifications Don't Necessarily Mean You'll Get the Job
Applicants with outstanding credentials are rejected daily and deemed not qualified by Human Resources Specialists because their KSAOs failed to adequately demonstrate necessary knowledge or skill levels. It's not always what is written; it's how it's written.

Norstar Writing has extensive knowledge and writing expertise in packaging Federal Government resumes and KSAOs for success. We do not produce generic, catchall applications or KSAOs as some writing services do. We base your application and KSAOs on your specific qualifications and information garnered through personal contact. Whether you're applying for your first government position or applying for a promotion, Norstar Writing will ensure your qualifications are presented in the most powerful way.

Your Resume and KSAOs Are as Unique as You
You have something special to offer; however, no one can guarantee you a position or even an interview because he writes your resume or KSAOs. Be leery of anyone who makes such a claim. Contacting us for a free consultation can save you time, aggravation, and money.

A few things we will want to know when we speak with you are:

Are you currently a Government employee?
What is the Announcement number and the closing date?
How are you qualified for the new position?
Do you have additional qualifications - for example, are you bi-lingual?

Aging Senior Executive Service Personnel
According to the October 2004 issue of Government Executive magazine, more than two-thirds of the Senior Executive Service (SES) workforce will be eligible to retire over the next three years. 16% are age 45-49; 30% are 50-54; 30% are 55-59; and, 16% are over 60.

Are you ready to step into an SES position? Is your resume current? Resumes for Government Executive positions cannot, and should not, be compared to corporate executive resumes, nor should they be written by people who don't have proficiency in the Government application process. If you're serious about SES, contact Norstar Writing. We have proven experience in the very specialized writing of Core Competencies.

What's This Going to Cost?
The writing of each resume and KSAO or Core Competency is a personalized service; therefore, we cannot specify costs until we learn more about you and the quantity of writing that will be required in your specific case. There are variants such as new copy vs. editing existing writing; first time applicants vs. SES applicants, etc. Generally, we charge $50 to edit KSAO material or $75 for new copy. Core Competencies start at $200. A 25% Kill Fee is required to start the writing process. The bottom line is, it costs nothing to send us an email for further information. It is only after we have contact that we can help you get started on your new career!
