Knowledge, Skills, Abilities and others

 What is the Difference between Knowledge, Skills and Abilities in job description or job specification forms, and what did we mean by "others"

Previously we clarified what job specification is, and the benefits of doing it, today I'll explain the main traits that make up job specification (K.S.A.o)

Knowledge (K): refers to the factual information that can be applied to the tasks, for examples:  the level of education, the knowledge of computer programs, languages, and required expertise in a specific field that related this job.

Skills (S): refers to the ability to turn knowledge into real action, it’s a psychomotor activities. guitarist is a good example of psychomotor job, to play guitar you have to know about musical scale, guitar chord notes. In the same times you should Train your fingers on the flexibility and speed movement between guitar frets (I tried this, It was difficult thing).

Abilities (A): refers to the characteristics or natural talented, it is inherited but sometimes it is acquired or a compensation of both, it is capability to perform several tasks and skills. for example: leading, mathematical ability and Cognitive.

Others (o): refers to characteristics that don not fall under knowledge, skills or ability, such as the interests (It is important to write your interest in your C.V) and the ability to work at weekend.
