When Was the Last Time You Conducted a Personal SWOT Analysis?
Whenever you hear the term SWOT Analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities & Threats), it is usually associated with businesses. But a SWOT Analysis can be very beneficial to individuals because results can help to position them for success, by highlighting information they can use to reposition themselves.
How to Conduct a Personal SWOT Analysis

Answering the questions in table 1 creates an inventory of your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, which will determine possible areas to specialize in, if you are looking for a change in career. Or, you can simply use the information to hone the skills that you are weak in.
Develop ways to use your strengths to exploit opportunities and avoid or defuse threats. In what ways could you exploit your knowledge and wisdom to create a niche that you can dominate? Are you ready to conduct your personal SWOT?
