AutoGOJA Sample Knowledges, Skills, Abilities, and Personal Characteristics (KSAPCs)

The following list of Knowledges, Skill, Ability, and Personal Characteristics (KSAPCs) is provided to aid you in designing your own job analyses. The KSAPC statements are grouped by Content Area (e.g., Computer Skills, Math, etc.). Please note that you should work with job experts and supervisors to “customize” the statements to ensure that they are relevant to the specific job you are analyzing. For example, the first statement in the chart below states: “The ability to use word processing software to draft correspondence and proof, edit, or format documents that have been prepared by others” should be modified to include examples of specific documents to be reviewed and edited. In addition, it is recommended that each of these KSAPC statements is modified to reflect the level needed for the target position. While this has already been done for a few of the KSAPC statements, some of the KSAPCs that are fundamental to the target position should be modified to reflect the difficulty or complexity level required, as well as the equipment, tools, or materials that are related to the statement.

Should you decide to use any of these KSAPC statements, you will need to either type them individually into the AutoGOJA user interface or copy and paste them into an appropriately formatted document and import them as a group into AutoGOJA. Please note that you cannot simply import the KSAPCs as they are found in this table. If you try, you will receive an error message. Instead, please review the instructions that can be found in the Import KSAPCs screen in AutoGOJA.
