NAP
You have now done your Natural Aptitude planning by learning the following five things about yourself:
1. A favored skill or duty, with relevant examples of past situations, your action, and how the end result saved time or money for the company or lead to improvements.
2. A second favored skill or duty with relevant examples (as above).
3. A third favored skill or duty with relevant examples (as above).
4. Whether you are highly detail oriented or not.
5. Whether you are structured or unstructured.
6. Whether you prefer to conceptualize or control.
The answers are unique to every individual and give you an idea of how you naturally operate under pressure.
If you look at your work environment, you will naturally default to this behavior and tend to focus on these things first. These are what you are good at and, when the going gets tough, what you tend to do first.
It has been my experience that this is very often missing on the CV. I have had comments such as “but it’s not part of my job,” yet this is what you do every day.
If a new opportunity is not in line with your NAP, it does not mean you will not be able to do the job; it simply means that you know it will be a job and not a career move.
