Identifying your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) for your job can help you to uncover opportunities that you would not otherwise have spotted. And by understanding your weaknesses, you can manage and eliminate threats that might otherwise hurt your ability to move forward.
If you look at yourself using the SWOT framework, you can start to separate yourself from your peers and further develop the specialised talents and abilities you need to advance your career. To begin your SWOT analysis, fill out the answers to these questions on a paper divided into four sections.
Your strengths are the intrinsic characteristics that set you apart from others. These will be present regardless of external conditions. Consider your strengths from both your personal point of view and that of others around you. Think as objectively as possible.
TIP: If you hit a roadblock in identifying your strengths, think of your personal characteristics which may be strengths at the workplace.
Consider your weaknesses from both personal and external perspectives. What weaknesses do others see that you don’t? Are you lagging behind your co-workers in key areas? Try to be realistic and face any unpleasant truths as soon as possible.
While you consider the external opportunities in your industry and company, consider your strengths and ask if these can open up any opportunities for you. Conversely, examine your weaknesses ask if you could create new opportunities for yourself by eliminating these weaknesses.
TIPS: The following events may provide useful opportunities
Performing this SWOT analysis will often provide key information. Now you can point out what needs to be done to improve your performance at work and to put problems into perspective. Good luck!
