How to Assess Your Career Alignment: A Practical Self-Assessment

Which activities allow your strongest natural gifts to appear?

Which capabilities do you use regularly? Which important capabilities are underused?

Which important values are respected by your work? Which are repeatedly compromised?

Which actual activities keep your attention? Which responsibilities consistently drain your interest?

Compare the work you expected with the work you actually perform.

Assess management, autonomy, pace, team structure, location, communication, and workplace conditions.

"If nothing changed for the next three years, would I want to continue developing in this direction?" Then classify each area: Strong alignment / Moderate alignment / Weak alignment / Unclear. Use it to identify questions worth investigating.
