SWOT Analysis of Ilena Smbatyan
Strengths
I believe my top strengths are that I am a hard worker, I am responsible and have experience in living outside of the United States. Education and intelligence are of course very important as well, however if an individual is irresponsible and lazy, then their intelligence will be a waste. I also believe that my experience living outside of the United States is a major strength, especially living in third world countries. The United States provides more opportunity for a better life, as long as you work hard.
Weaknesses
My three main weaknesses that I believe I need to work on are being impatient, indecisive and taking on too many things at once. I consider myself an efficient multitasker however, I do at times take on more responsibilities than I can handle. I learned this while performing this analysis. I thought of being a multitasker as a strength then realized that I overdo it sometimes. This weakness is magnified by the fact that I can also be impatient and indecisive sometimes. I need to learn to have patience and be more decisive. This way, I can also control the amount of work I take on.
Opportunities
The top opportunities from my analysis are that I have been in the healthcare industry for over six years, I own a business related to the healthcare field and I am not on social media, though this is also a threat. I want to eventually be a hospital administrator so any experience I attain prior to that is an opportunity to enhance my resume. I also own a physical therapy business and work with Home Health Cares to provide physical therapy services to the elderly. This is another form of experience that gives me the opportunity to learn and grow in the field. Lastly, I perceive not being on social media an opportunity because I am not influenced by outside sources. Being on social media is not a bad thing, however it can be a double edged sword when it comes to professionalism.
Threats
The main threats that I face are being bossy, being too emotional at times and not being on social media. Being bossy is a threat because it can alienate me from others by pushing them away. Should this happen in a professional environment, it will be hard to overcome. I can also be too emotional sometimes. I’m the type that wears my emotions on my sleeves and this can be a threat in the professional environment. I mentioned not being on social media as an opportunity but it can also be a threat. Most individuals and professional establishments are for better or for worse, on social media. Hence, not being on social media can be a threat to career advancement.
