Section 1
Starting the Year
As part of the career development process you need to be aware of your
strengths and weaknesses. From BFO0221 in year 1 find your personal SWOT
analysis. Then complete a new SWOT analysis and compare your
development during the first year at university. Discuss your SWOT and
your personal development plans for the course. The discussion should be
a minimum of one page.
If you are joining the course in year 2 construct a SWOT and discuss the personal development plans for the course.
My SWOT is:
Strength
– Research
– Networking
– Work collaboratively
– Good work relationship
Weaknesses
– Innovation, creativity and enterprise.
– Numeracy
– Commercial acumen
Opportunities
– Problem solving and critical analysis
– Critical thinking
– Communication and listening
– Emotional intelligence
Threats
– People management
– Range of cultures
– Articulate information
– Self-reflection
– Self-management
Note:I don’t have previous SWOT so make a fake SWOT then compare it with this
one and show that i have been evolved and became better than before.
