Private Pilot

Your Career Diagnostic.

A clearer view of where you are, what you bring, and where you can go next.

The Flat98 Career Diagnostic is designed to help us understand how your professional experience translates into the market, where your strongest opportunities may exist, and what may be preventing employers from recognizing the value you bring.

This is not another job application. If you provide a resume or CV, you do not need to repeat information already included there. We are most interested in the parts of your professional story that a resume often cannot capture.

There are no perfect answers. A few thoughtful sentences are usually enough.

Estimated completion time: 10–15 minutes.

Before We Begin

A few basics.

Upload your current résumé or CV if you have one. PDF or Word documents are welcome. If you don't have one ready, you can still complete the Career Diagnostic.

If you know your LinkedIn profile link, paste it here. If not, simply enter the name we can use to find you. You can also leave this blank and send it to us later.

01 — Where You Are

1. Which best describes your current professional situation?

Don't worry about your formal title. Tell us how you would explain your professional work to someone who genuinely wanted to understand it.

02 — Your Professional Value

Choose examples that best demonstrate the contribution you believe you can make.

03 — Where You Want to Go

8. What matters most to you in your next opportunity?

Choose the priorities that matter most to you.

04 — Understanding Your Search

9. Tell us briefly how your search has gone so far.

10. Where do you think the greatest friction is occurring?

Select the areas that feel relevant to your experience.

05 — Your Market Context

11. What should we know about your ability to work in the Netherlands?

Include your approximate level where useful. For example: English — fluent; Dutch — conversational.

06 — What We Need to Understand

One Final Step

Your professional materials.

Your responses tell us how you see your professional position. Your CV and LinkedIn profile allow us to compare that story with what an employer currently sees.

For this private pilot, please send your current CV using the contact method provided in your pilot invitation. Do not revise it specifically for the diagnostic. Seeing the document as it exists today is useful to our analysis.
