When to use a personal SWOT analysis

  • Work

    Before a job application or a review, see what you bring and what might hold you back.

  • Goals

    Turn each weakness into a goal, like a presenting course for nerves in front of clients.

  • Taking stock

    Write one honestly once a year, and see which boxes have changed since last time.
