It is the end of the year and I know that you are contemplating what to do next in going into the year of 2022. Are you in the same place now that you were in a year before? SWOT stands for “strengths, weaknesses, opportunity, and threat.”

1. Strengths
- What certifications do you presently possess?
- How is your skill in currently trending technology?
- Do you possess any project management skills that will add value to your company?
2. Weaknesses
- Are you lacking trending technical skills or soft skills that could possibly stand in the way of a promotion?
3. Opportunities
- Do you think that acquiring these new skills will help you advance in employment?
4. Threat
- Do you have personal traits hindering your growth?
- What technologies are currently being phased out for the new advances?
- Are you aware of new technological advances in your area in which you lack the technical skills?
Creately is an application that can help you with this goal of self evaluation before going into the new year. The first thing you are going to create an account and select the SWOT Template.
