You’re a Natural:Discover the Secret to Success at Work. If you are like most of us, there are aspects to your day and activities that you anticipate with pleasure and really enjoy doing. Again, like most of us, there may be daily things required of you that feel like chores, that are harder for you to accomplish and maybe even thinking about them fills you with a mild sense of anxiety. What’s going on here? Are reactions to various tasks mental blocks or attitude issues? Not in the least. What are at work here are your aptitudes. Aptitudes are your natural abilities, your gifts, the talents and tendencies that are as inherent to you as your eye color or your handwriting. Your aptitudes make themselves known in the things you love and love to do, the things that you learn quickly and come easily to you. Your preferences and most likely your accomplishments in life and at work are based largely upon your aptitudes. Aptitudes are part of your DNA. Paying attention to them and putting your natural abilities to work for you can make learning much easier, your life and your career far more enjoyable and productive. Doing what comes easily and naturally to you can be of great benefit not only to you but to a potential employer. “But I have this resume,” you might be saying to yourself, “and it is all about my work experience and my education, not my natural gifts.” Fair enough. Your education and work experience reflect your choices in your job history, your sense of responsibility, your maturity in positions taken to support yourself and your family. Your experience in these areas will most certainly reflect some of your aptitudes, you may just not have separated out the aspects of your classes and jobs that were the easiest for you or in which you were most satisfied. You can differentiate your aptitudes from your experience. There are online tests that you can take, some at no charge. You can contact research firms such as Johnson O’Connor and sign up for on-site aptitude tests. You can even analyze your own history and begin to pull out the activities and accomplishments that were the easiest for you or that gave you the most satisfaction and joy. Today there are a growing number of companies that practice the art of looking beyond a resume to more deeply discern a person’s true gifts and job placement. Some organizations have developed assessment processes that exactly fit an applicant’s aptitude to a client company’s specific position.
