STRENGTH, WEAKNESS, OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS ANALYSIS
According to CIPD, SWOT analysis is a tool which seeks to identify the strength, weakness, threats and opportunities in a project or organization. each individual has different personalities which includes what we would consider as our strengths or weaknesses and sometimes looking around we find opportunities and threats around us, personally I would like to think that the following describes my SWOT analysis.
STRENGTHS
1. I have the ability to adapt to any environment or situation I find myself, I try my possible best to prevent my personal circumstances from affecting my environment or the activities I have to carry out.
2. I have over time developed the ability of staying levelheaded or calm during a difficult situation and this has helped me in being logical and not rash or influenced by emotions when something unpleasant happens. Growing up I used to cry when I get poor scores in a test, but I was thought that the result of the test doesn't speak about your intelligence, but the efforts made afterwards to improve on future tests is what matters.
3. multitasking has somewhat been a natural skill as I grew up the first girl child, this has developed to be a skill that has become helpful over the years with planning and combining education and career and also childcare.
4.I have the ability to think outside the box, which is a good problem-solving skill, and this can be seen as I was one of the best students in mathematics in my high school.
5. Another strength which I have is that I am a visual learner and I learn with organizing the notes or pictures or graphs, according to Neil Fleming's VAK/VARK learning model, a visual learner has the preference for using visual aids whiles learning rather than words and they are set to use a lot of color-coding whiles learning or taking more detailed notes in class.
WEAKNESS
1. As English is not my first language, I have shortcomings when speaking as I am not as fluent as I would love to be and although my English test score band would state otherwise, I am still of the belief that I need improvement in my English speaking.
2. I am a person of little words; I can be quite friendly, but I also have the tendency not to speak a lot and this in a long way affects my ability to express ad distorts my coherence.
3.As expected from a person with little words, I am also timid, I have put in efforts to work on it as it also affects my way of expression and reduces how I am able to sell myself during interviews or presentation, but this is also a work in progress.
OPPORTUNITIES
1. with my professional background as a pharmacist, this is a good opportunity as it has helped me understand different aspect of computer literacy as I have had to submit reports and make presentations.
2. Another opportunity is me obtaining a master's degree and I am currently doing the foundation program; this would lead to an opportunity to learn new skills and improve on my shortcomings.
3. With the United Kingdom being a developed country, the style of teaching is quite different to the one I am used to, and it provides an environment for growth whereby with the level of technology and exposure students are allowed to express themselves and this gives room for corrections.
THREATS
1. with my cultural background there are certain times my mother tongue gets in the way of my English speaking with issues such as pronouncing words that begin with the letter's "H, O, A, E".
2. There are situations where my personal situation would get in the way, as a single mother in a new country, there are sometimes challenges with finding childcare as my kid is also adapting to a new environment and this can lead to crankiness and distractions with the nanny calling and also changing of nanny.
