SWOT Analysis for Myself
Introduction and Goals
Every organization works and operates in particular internal and external environments. These environments affect their abilities and weaknesses. SWOT analysis refers to careful examination of an organization’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and strengths. Far from organizations, individuals also experience almost similar conditions when it comes to personal goals and objectives. Everyone aspires to achieve specific standards in life, but usually, this doesn’t come easy. The same concept on the organization’s SWOT analysis can thus get applied to personal lives (Pluchevckaya et al., 2017). I intend to achieve the best professionally and socially as related to career aspirations and social interactions. This is a detailed analysis of some of my strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. It is only acceptable that all the levels and standards of professional and technical qualifications are viable enough for the current and probably future career roles.
Strengths
I possess excellent communication skills. This is an aspect of life that has enabled me to interact easily with everyone who crosses my life. I have the right balance between professional and casual verbatim. This has helped me to have the best message delivery in various capacities. Besides, I’m endowed with good interrelation skills. These are skills that enable interaction from person to the next. I also have a strong academic background in business. This prepares me for career opportunities in business-related areas. Impressively enough, I’m well versed with the new technical skills and ever-changing trends in the business world, an aspect that grants me a rare competitive edge over peers. Again my strength lies in my open-mindedness. I have an attribute that enables me to show readiness to learn traits. This is a trait that makes it possible for me to adjust to the ever-changing work environments.
Weaknesses
Professionally, I have a weakness in keeping maximum attention to every small detail. Friends and colleagues believe this as a weakness. I tend to view it as both strength and a weakness. It can help me save on the possibilities of making small but costly errors in the workplace.
On open ground, I sometimes get difficulties keeping time. This is, however, a temporary weakness. It is mostly caused by the means of transport between my residential place and place of work. Even though I rise early every time to get to the work place, I always get caught in constant snarl ups that make me late by a few minutes.
Opportunities
I have excellent professional opportunities. Being a business student, I have a wide range of career opportunities in business-related areas. I have learned to perfect the discipline by embracing diversity and inclusion in my practice. This has exposed me to more career and professional opportunities.
In most recent times, there is an upcoming business project in our department. Being the most suitable personality, I see this as a good opportunity for growth and experience. I intend to pursue the project with the utmost diligence and professionalism. This will not only help me establish my brand but also grant me a reputation. Ordinarily, this is seen as a stepping stone towards getting more clients and even job offers.
Threats
Even though I’m technologically literate, I have challenges keeping track of the business environment’s ever-changing technological requirements. The unique business requirements have always determined the direction taken by technical business environments. This thus dictates one remain informed of the latest applications, software, and other technical capacities that aid performance in the efficient work procedures (Sarsby, 2016). Even though I have no immediate challenge, I foresee a situation where I may find myself without the required up-to-date knowledge of my profession’s most dynamic aspect.
Reflective comments
I tend to believe that the level of education and training offered in our institutions allows the learners to get the best out of their professional and career requirements. Besides the basic training provided o the related discipline and content, a lot more is offered on the general professional packages that enable one to settle on a prequalified job quickly. Most of the abilities that I have are directly related to this. Whenever I reflect and focus on my career goals and obligations, I become more confident to desire to become more. Working on my set career objective goals has helped me become this far.
I believe I will continue to grow professionally and even socially in all aspects of life. It has saddened me that most young employees work more on their career goals while forgetting essential elements of their lives like social connections. The workplace is equally the right place to expand our social network and friendships that would have long term impacts on our professional and career work, just like the phrase your system is your net worth.
