SWOT ANALYSIS Strengths • Problem Solver: I have a passion for finding solutions to problems and often dig much deeper than the average person to analyze the very depth of the issue. Afterwards, I thrive off of formulating a report to let the relevant persons know of my findings and also to propose possible solutions to the discovered problem. For instance, I once realized and individual was engaging in fraudulent acts merely by analyzing signatures. As I became suspicious, I decided to pull random samples of the individual’s submission. Since they all seemed to be forged, I confronted them and made them aware that I had no alternative but to report the issues. Afterwards, I received an award for excellent analytical skills, since we realized …show more content…
The process is in the testing phase and although I am not directly a part of the project I realized many flaws in the pilot of the project and prepared a list of them, along with recommendations of how they could be resolved. The project team seems very satisfied since none of them had noticed the flaws I picked up and many call and emailed to say thanks. • Work under pressure – As outlined below in my procrastination description, working under pressure is also one of the things that can drive me to achieve a target. Since I am able to think quickly and solve issues effectively, this is hardly ever a setback for me. At month end, when everyone is trying to get their business submitted, I ensure that all cases are entered into the system and I do so within my allocated work day. Whether I have two applications to process or twenty, I ensure they are all done. • Technology savvy – I love technology and the way it evolves. I am often able to get things done quickly, keep up to date and organize my tasks all at the click of a …show more content…
I usually have an adrenaline rush to have it completed urgently as the deadline draws nearer. Unfortunately, there was a time when I was competing an assignment and the Wi-Fi adapter on the laptop stopped working. As such, I was unable to get back online in time to submit the paper. I still managed to pass the course but received a failing grade in the paper. • Distracted by loud noises – I prefer to work in quiet environments since I focus better. I am currently allocated to an office environment where there is high traffic and it can sometimes get really loud when persons begin to chat. This often annoys me; there was a time when I got so frustrated by the noise levels that I decided to take a walk from my desk. • Openly speaks mind – The meaning of this is clear cut. They are some people though who rather you not say anything than tell them the truth. Sometimes I can offend these people and not feel guilty about it. Often, I need to stop and think whether something is so relevant that it needs to be addressed. If it is not a bother to any tasks I must complete, I no longer start a conversation about it.

The SWOT analysis is a useful tool for identifying our personal strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to our plans and goals. According to a “Fuel My Motivation” article (2010), this analysis considers internal influences that can positively or negatively affect our ability to achieve our goals. The internal factors are our strengths and weaknesses. Also considered are opportunities and threats, which are external influences that can have a positive or negative impact on the ability to achieve our goals. I will share how the self-assessment instruments and self-exercises in this course have contributed to assessing and understanding my strengths and weaknesses. I will also discuss techniques I will use to leverage my strengths and understand my weaknesses. In addition, I will consider opportunities that I can take advantage of and the threats that can possibly impede my progress.

Each day an individual will make a decision that will affect their life in some way. Should I wear the green shirt or the yellow shirt? Should I order a shake or lemonade? Should I wash the car today or wait until tomorrow? These simple decisions often happen without serious thought. Why? Because these decisions are not life changing ones. But what happens when the decision is not so easy to make, when it’s life changing. Sometimes a person’s conscious greatly affects one’s decision making, especially when the topic of whistle blowing arises. In this paper, I will discuss and analyze whistle-blowing, where it occurs, the effects of whistle-blowing, the consequences of whistle-blowing, and finally I close my paper with a conclusion.
Human Resource Management (HRM) is fundamentally another name for personnel management. It is the process of making sure the employees are as creative as they can be. HRM is a way of grouping the range of activities associated with managing people that are variously categorised under employee relations, industrial/labour relations, personnel management and organisational behaviour. Many academic departments where research and teaching in all these areas take place have adopted the title department of human resources management. HRM is a coordinated approach to managing people that seeks to integrate the various personnel activates so that they are compatible with each other. Therefore the key areas of employee resourcing, employee development, employee reward and employee involvement are considered to be interrelated. Policy-making and procedures in one of these areas will have an impact on other areas, therefore human resources management is an approach that takes a holistic view and considers how various areas can be integrated.
