SWOT Analysis

What is a SWOT Analysis? A SWOT analysis is a strategic business tool that can be applied equally powerfully to individuals. You can use it to help your review of where you are now and where you could be. It consists of a simple framework to organise key information on a single page.

What is a SWOT Analysis?

SWOT stands for … Strengths - your unique selling points Weaknesses - potential areas for personal development Opportunities – for development in the external environment that you could take advantage of Threats - to development in the external environment which are outside your control

Lets SWOT Divide a blank page into four quarters. Write Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats in each quarter.

Strengths Your strengths set you apart from your peers and are the features you can build on when planning your development or marketing yourself to potential employers. Balance your self-perceptions with feedback from others, such as your line manager, friends or relatives.

Strengths - Consider Your experience Your skills Your qualifications Your specialist knowledge Personal Characteristics (dedication, enthusiasm) Your network

Weaknesses Your weaknesses are negative features within your control. Balance your self-perceptions with feedback from others. Your action plan can be aimed at making improvements in these areas if they would enable you to reach your goals. Insight into your weaknesses can help rule out areas of work for which you may not be suited.

Weaknesses - Consider skills  (look at technical, research, general transferable and career management skills). gaps in experience gaps in knowledge personal characteristics  (eg low energy, poor motivation).

Opportunities Opportunities are positive external trends impacting on you. They provide opportunities for you to exploit.

Opportunities - Consider opportunities for training and development so that you remain employable opportunities for advancement or promotion opportunities to use your transferable skills in a new employment opportunities for self-employment opportunities for new experiences eg travel

Threats Threats to your development are negative external conditions that may inhibit the availability of opportunities. These are beyond your control. Awareness of them allows you to plan so that you reduce their effect eg developing new skills for a newjob

Threats - Consider competitors - better qualified, more experienced, more skilled, better able to market themselves obstacles, eg lack of flexible working opportunities, discrimination, lack of childcare, health issues
