SWOT Analysis
Strengths- Good communication skills, organisation skills, have ability to work underpressure,
negotiation skills, and motivation skills are the strengths. I have good time management skills,
good at solving problems, better at taking initiatives and have computer as well as technology
skills. Fairly handle issues. When challenges are given I tend to be optimistic. Have the ability to
pick up new skills with ease.
Weaknesses- Alittle bit emotional, can get stressed out easily, impatient, perfectionist, stubborn
and look shy infront of a group of people can be considered weakness that can affect the better
opportunities for me.
Opportunities- Can increase the chance in the career by networking;can receive job offers
through personal connections, can undertake courses for the development in the career, the
portfolio can be improved with the experiences and working and have an opportunity to get

assisted by the professors at the university and get personalised teaching on details. Have the
ability to deal with the obstacles (Vlados, 2019).
Threats- Increased competition in the interested field of career and the ever changing
technology, the advancement in the technology can let the technological skills of me of less
importance. People in the same field that have greater and efficient skills for the work can be a
threat. Falling behind in completing the task due to the continuously being perfectionist.
