SWOT
STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES
 Listening – I am a patient listener and I always give time while listening
to my employees and I have the quality to understand what they are
trying to convey to me and their requirements.
 Quick learner – I am able to grasp things just after observing the process.
I am keen to observe my interested field areas and know how for my self
efficiency.
 Time management – I am not able to complete my work on time because
I have laziness in my mind, sometimes I have to do it hurriedly just to
meet the deadlines and thus this increases faults in the end moment.
 Procrastinate – I get easily distracted while working with some elements
and delay my work for sometime for the moments of enjoyment.
OPPORTUNITIES THREATS
 Support – have a big morale and financial support from my family and
friends to enhance my professional and academic skills. I have the liberty
to my own things and decisions.
 Confidence – I possess certain professional and academic skills for my
work which helps me in getting a new opportunity and hence increases
my confidence.
 Influenced – I get easily influenced by communicating to the people's
conscious and thus I eliminate and doubt my own thoughts and decisions
in my working life and career.
 Competition fear – I am frightened by the way other people escalate in
their work and makes me feel jealous. This also reduces my inner
confidence and self doubt in my next move.
