Personal (Professional) SWOT Analysis /Business

Part 2 Deliverables: Your Personal (Professional) SWOT Analysis:

1. Review the “Part 2” slides in the attached Overview PowerPoint.
2. Consider the industry, job titles, and job listings that you explored in the Part 1 assignment.
3. List exactly five “Strengths” that you think will help you succeed along this career path. Provide a little detail for each. Try to think of things that will make you stand out against the competition. These may include:
   1. Personal traits
   2. Job skills
   3. Interests
   4. Experience
4. Now list exactly five “Weaknesses” that you think may hinder your success along this career path. These may include:
   1. Lack of specific experience
   2. Lack of specific job skills
   3. Personal traits (that could use a little work?)
5. Now list exactly two “Opportunities” that you think exist in this particular career path. Remember, Opportunities are external, so you’ll be looking for things like increasing demand for this type of work, technology changes, job market changes, etc… you’ll need to do some research for this one.
6. Now list exactly two “Threats” that you think exist in this particular career path. Again, Threats are external and typically include things like competition, changes in the job market, changes in legislation, etc…refer to the six elements of the macroenvironment in Chapter 5 for ideas about where to look for Opportunities and Threats.

Here’s Some tips for researching Opportunities & Threats.

• Use the database resources through the PSU library website.
• Use the Occupational Outlook Handbook that the US government publishes with data about different occupations and industries.
• Maybe check linked for people who currently hold the jobs you are interested in. What skills do they bring that will be hard for you to compete with?

This assignment should be about 2 pages in length.
