The main purpose of SWOT analysis is to identify our internal and external factors, which are important to achieve any objective. The internal factors are our strengths or weaknesses depending on the goal. Same as external factors are also depend on the objective, which are opportunities and threats. SWOT analysis tells us our current abilities and needs, which can help us in future to frame our interview conversation in the most favorable way possible.
My strengths are I work on every assignment in detail and check my work twice to make sure it’s all correct. I have learned this skill in my accounting class and at my work like while taking money from the customer I have to check my math because I work, we used to make check manually. I have a good experienced in Microsoft Office, especially in word, excel and PowerPoint. I use all these program daily in my accounting classes. I have some experience with QuickBooks software, which is use for managing businesses transactions like sales and expenses to keep track of business budget.
I gained good customer service at recent workplace, I have to interact with customers in every single second to take their orders and serve properly. I have ability to manage my time according to my classes, homework, assignment, projects and my work. I like to work with in a team and tell my point of view and gain mother’s point view and then get on the result about a topic. I am very flexible with time schedule. My GPA is 3.5/4, which I think acceptable to this position. Finally, I can fluently speak two languages English and Hindi as my family is from India.
There are some weaknesses, on which I am still working on. My biggest weakness is lack of confidence, which is like I feel shy to speak in front of large of people for example going presentations. Sometimes, I felt panic before my presentations and my face turns red, shaking hands, but I am working n to improve my self- confidence by doing practicing and give a little presentation in front of my friends and family members. I hope it will help me for the future interviews because lack of confidence would cause me like would be a big hurdle to achieve my career goal. And finally, currently, I do not have any professional experience in marketing industry. I hope if I get this internship, I will get a good experience in the marketing. One more weakness I can see in me is sometimes I think a lot after I take decision about something.
The biggest opportunity that I can see in me is that my education, which I am currently procuring. This gives me the chance to either take advantage or disadvantage of this opportunity but for better life I would like to take advantages to get professional job in market industry. My second opportunity is I like to get social with people which sometimes helps me to be a creative and for innovate my ideas, and I have good customer service experience which I created at my workplace. But my weakness, lack of confidence sometimes mix-up my perception to achieve my goals. I think this internship opportunity would be a great helpful to improve my weaknesses. Finally, I am planning to take my CPA exam after my graduation. I think being a CPA might help me for more job opportunities and experience. Threats, the biggest threat would be new technology.
Technology is changing every single day, every day there are new updates in technology. It’s so hard to update yourself with technology specially now a because of tough competition between job seeker. Everyone is doing great efforts to get a professional and stable job. Another threats are lack of motivation to face obstacles to increase communication area. The lower level confidence level is not supportive to take risk on opportunities further. Poor management strategy would not be compassionate for building a prospective career in marketing. It probably would be difficult to understand customers’ demands and needs to provide better service because of not to have enough experience in marketing.
By completing a SWOT analysis I will be one step closer to fulfill my dreams because now I know what are my strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats are and where I need to work on. I think, if I know my weaknesses don’t mean I am weak and can’t do something in my life. I will definitely eliminate the weaknesses and avoid threads as I have keen desire to learn new things and make myself more compatible for this competitive business market and achieve my dream goal.
