MAIN BODY
SWOT analysis
SWOT analysis is the another framework which is needed for the identification of the
strength and weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the person. Below is discussed my SWOT
analysis which states my strength, weaknesses, opportunity and threats:
 Strength: There are certain areas where I am very competent and enough to handle any
situation and perform my duties. These are:
 Analytical skills: My biggest strength is that I have very good analytical skills. This helps
me in solving any time of situation or problems. By this I can able to manage various
operational work and task. These skills helps me in tackling various issues and situations.
And also by this I can able to apply in any company which ca be considered as the most
important skill of mine (Clarke, 2009).
 Communication skills: Then this is another strength of mine. I have very good
communication skills. This helps me in communicating with any person more confidently
and without any hesitation. By using my communication skills I m able to manage my
work more efficiently and appropriately. Also, by this I can able to communicate with my
3

superiors effectively. I have very good English speaking ability and this will help me in
managing most of the subordinates who only know English in a very appropriate manner.
 Weakness: I have some of the weakness which I needs to make improvements. These
weaknesses becomes an hurdles between me and my goals. These are discuss below:
 Ethical practises: The first weakness of mine is the missing of ethical practises.
According to my opinion, I have noticed that it is most important to develop ethical
practises in person because this helps the individual in making appropriate decision
regarding any issue without biasses. I ned to develop this weakness of mine into my
strength (Cottrell, 2015).
 Managerial abilities: I have managerial abilities with me. I can able to handle any
external situations and activities but sometimes I can able to fail in the managing my
work effectively and efficiently. For this I need to take training for developing my this
skills and capabilities.
 Time management skills: This is my biggest weakness as I can't able to mange my time
according to any situation. I am failed to mange my work on time in the organisation. I
cannot mange multiple works at the same time. If there are lots of multiple task then I
can't able to prioritise my work and there I fails to achieve my goals.
 Stress management: This is my weakness as when I sees lots of multiple work then I
came into stress. I cannot able to mange and make stress. This de-motivates me in
performing my activities and task in a effective manner. And I can't perform my work on
time.
 Opportunity: Opportunities are those which can develops into the strength. There are
various opportunities that can help the making my strength. As I have strong
communication and analytical skills so this can make easy for me to convince other
people according to my opinion and also I can mange my work in very effective manner.
By making decision I can able to manage the work more effectively (Hennemann and
Liefner, 2010).
 Threat: The biggest threat for me is to enhance my competencies. As there are many
other person similar to me who becomes superior than me and this hits me. This helps me
in motivating me and pushing me towards my goals ad my opportunities.
