how can one neatly describe his/her skills and knowledge linkages to his/her roles and responsibilities in his/her current job?
What is the difference between skills and knowledge?
I feel that I should give you some examples of professions.
1) A surgeon may study to become a doctor, however, he or she has to perform a surgery to get experience.
2) Someone can study to be a teacher and even minor in another subject area. However, when a student teacher gains valuable experience, it enables him or her to put knowledge into practice to become a teacher. Therefore, someone who studies acquires knowledge, but someone who puts knowledge into practice acquires understanding and skills.
Let me further explain by using the example of a teacher:
Skills: tutored elementary students in a Montessori school, student teaching in a 1st and 2nd grade classroom, 1st year teacher
Knowledge: reading endorsement, master's degree in elementary education, teacher's workshops, minor in spanish
Outline what a teacher may write
1) State what you studied in school (Ex:Elementary Education, Reading Endorsement, and Spanish)
2) Discuss how you were able to find your current position and how you use the knowledge and skills you gained while studying in school (Ex: You were acquainted with the principal because of your student teaching experience, the Reading Endorsement and Spanish helps you to teach English as a second language learners and enhances reading lessons because of the many teaching strategies you have been taught to help students learn to read. Also, tutoring and student teaching exposed you to different teaching strategies that you use in your classroom.
3) Discuss how the success of your recent experiences in your workplace can be attributed to having the knowledge and experience to succeed in your role. (You won teacher of the year award. Your teacher workshops, reading endorsement, minor, and furthering your education helped you to become a better teacher. Also, student teaching and mentoring helped you to learn from more experienced professionals)
I gave you the example of a teacher because I am more familiar with this profession. If you write out what knowledge and skills you gained like the example above, you can explain how this relates to your roles and responsibilities. Also, writing an outline is helpful. These are only suggestions to help you to brainstorm. This question seems very broad (What is the difference between skills and knowledge?). Did you have to be very specific in your answer?

how can one neatly describe his/her skills and knowledge linkages to his/her roles and responsibilities in his/her current job?
First of all, you can list out some features of your current jobs/ positions that you are in. This helps you craft a holistic pictures of what kind of knowledge and skills that are applicable to that position. Then you can summerize all points of strengths and skills you want to input in that position before comparing it with other's.

you have to mention which kind of job you have and what are your responsibilities in details
then you have to demonstrate how you carry out these responsibilities in a fast and skillful way
you can compare how was the work before you joined and how is it now, thanks to you
all of these things should highlight your skills and abilities
as for the difference between skills and knowledge ?
I can say that knowledge is the architect and skill is the builder

If you have a resume, get it out to consult with. Then, starting with5he most recent, list a description, of you job responsibilities, and functions.
Don't forget people skills,and volunteer work, within the job. Write about the emailing, the social networking online and off. If you do it on the job, list it!
The most important is usually computer skills, and those can be described in detail. Remember to include the latest version of the tech knowledge, you are using. People want to know how advanced you are.
Good luck!
