How to Conduct a Personal SWOT
By this time of the semester, you have received formal and informal feedback from team members with whom you collaborated, taken eight self assessment instruments, and acquired content knowledge in multiple transferable skill areas. To conduct the analysis, take all of this information, synthesize it, and ask yourself questions about each of the four areas being examined. Pay particular attention to the things that you have that your peers don't; how are you different, unique and special? Honesty is crucial, or the analysis will not generate meaningful results. Try to see yourself from the standpoint of a team member or a bystander.
SWOT Questions to Ask Yourself
Begin by identifying your strengths. These are the traits or skills that set you apart from others. Questions to ask include:
- What are you good at naturally?
- What skills have you worked to develop?
- What are your talents, or natural-born gift?
The next step is identifying weaknesses. This part examines the areas in which you need to improve and the things that will set you back in your career. Questions to consider include:
- What are your negative work habits and traits?
- Does any part of your education or training need improving?
- What would other people see as your weaknesses?
For the opportunities section, look at the external factors you can take advantage of to pursue a promotion, find a new job or determine a career direction. Questions to examine include:
- What is the state of the economy?
- Is your industry growing?
- Is there new technology in your industry?
Finally, look at any threats to your career growth. This part accounts for the external factors that could hurt your chances to attain your goals. Questions to consider include:
- Is your industry contracting or changing directions?
- Is there strong competition for the types of jobs for which you are best suited?
- What is the biggest external danger to your goals?
Determine the Outcomes
Once complete, you can use your SWOT to begin further developing your specialized talents and abilities to advance your career, achieve your personal goals, and get to 'the one'. You can evaluate your results using either of two popular methods. The first method is matching. Matching means connecting two of the categories to determine a course of action. For example, matching strengths to opportunities shows you where to be aggressive and take action. On the other hand, matching weaknesses to threats exposes those areas you should work on or situations to avoid, and lets you know where to be more defensive of your position.
The second method is to convert negatives into positives — in other words, converting your weaknesses into strengths, or threats into opportunities. This can mean growing a skill set through education or finding a creative way to feature a weakness as a strength. For instance, if you are very outgoing, working in an introspective and isolated environment may not suit you very well. But if you can work toward a position, such as sales, in which you interact with many people, that weakness turns into a strength and could allow you to excel.
Create Your Deliverable
Prepare a 3-5 minute video presentation of your SWOT analysis using the ideas, concepts and tips provided in the Engaging with Presentations module content. The presentation must contain the following content:
- What are the highlights of your SWOT?
- How will you take action on this information?
- What actions will you take? How will these actions impact your goals or plans?
You should use presentation software (Prezi, Google Slides, or Powerpoint) to create appropriate visual support for your presentation.
Submit your Deliverables (both #1 and #2 below)
1. VIDEO: Submit the video presentation to this assignment for a grade. I strongly encourage you to use the webcourses media submission function to avoid any compatibility issues. Read the rubric provided below while planning your presentation. Your presentation will be critiqued using that rubric. Demonstrate the presentation skills you have learned in the modules and in class. As a reminder, here is the information on appropriate business attire. If you have the ability to display your visuals while you film your video, please do so. However, this is NOT expected and is NOT required.
2. VISUALS: Post your visuals to the Discussion board. I will use the submitted visuals to assess your visual creation skills for grading purposes.
