Points
Task Statements: Complete the Task Statement template posted in Doc Sharing. Be sure the task statements are specific, time determined, and measurable. The task statements are single task items.

KSA Statements: Complete the KSA Statement template posted in Doc Sharing. You will take each Task Statement and identify the KSA needed for each task. This helps determine the job level and required job skills.
Job Description: From the Task and KSA Statement templates, write a viable job description with the following sections:Job Summary, Essential Job Functions;
Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities, Education, Experience, Certifications, and Licenses; Environmental Factors and Conditions/Physical Requirements, Equipment and Tools Utilized

Provide a summary of your articles in a 2–3 page paper following proper writing style and formatting as described in the Best Practices section below.
