Hello Class, 

Firstly, SWOT stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats and with SWOT an organization can have a better understanding on fix things within the company. Our textbook states what happens after SWOT analysis "managers are ready to formulate appropriate strategies—that is, strategies that (1) exploit an organization’s strengths and external opportunities, (2) buffer or protect the organization from external threats, or (3) correct critical weaknesses".

With that in mind, I am good at adapting to change quickly, for example being in the army made me accustomed to that lifestyle, change is quick and you have to learn or you'll fail the mission. The improvement I need to work on is being to blunt to people, not really taking their feelings into consideration, I just got use to getting the job done no matter what and if someone was slacking and causing us to stay late then I would speak up. I enjoy playing music because it puts me in a peaceful place and all the stress goes away for a bit, for example just grabbing my guitar after a long day is something I look forward too. Some of the things I find unpleasant is when people don't help each other out because team work is key to completing the job, also another thing is lying because you have to earn respect to get respect.

I am interested in the IT field and some threats in the are people trying to gather information from companies in order to use it against or harm them. In an article on nap.edu it states "When an element of the IT infrastructure is directly targeted, the goal is to destroy a sufficient amount of IT-based capability to have a significant impact". Some of the career opportunities are that IT is a big field and as technology grows so does the field.

I am confident in saying I am good at leading. I am great at setting goals and leading others to reach these goals with my help. I need to improve on coming across several difficulties at once. Sometimes I tend to get too stressed out by these difficulties and shut down for a while before I get back to it. I enjoy all things cosmetology, clothing and independence. I have always worked best alone, and learning from my mistakes. I do not like to be told what to do, because I like to have everything done before it was ever needed. My dream has always been to own and run a salon/ boutique as well as be a hairdresser there. There aren't as many opportunities in this field other than to continue to grow, but there are several risks such as with client and employee health, as well as trying to make a profit.
