To accept a duty.
Contexto cultural
The concept of 'Dugnad' is central. It's a voluntary community task (like cleaning a neighborhood). People who 'tar på seg ansvar' during dugnad are highly respected. Norwegian offices have flat hierarchies. Taking on responsibility is often expected to be self-initiated rather than assigned from the top down. From a young age, Norwegian students are taught 'ansvar for egen læring' (responsibility for your own learning). This phrase is a mantra in schools. There is a strong emphasis on 'samfunnsansvar' (social responsibility). Companies and individuals are expected to 'ta på seg' responsibility for the environment and social issues.
Use it in your CV
Instead of saying 'I was responsible for...', say 'Jeg tok på meg ansvar for...'. It sounds much more impressive to Norwegian recruiters.
Don't forget 'seg'
If you just say 'Jeg tar på ansvar', it sounds like you are putting responsibility onto an object. You must include 'meg/deg/seg'.
