SWOT analysis for a Human Resources executive


Carrying out a SWOT analysis
A simple way to assess yourself is to
carry out a SWOT analysis. List your
strengths and weaknesses, and the
opportunities open and threats to you
in your current role, as in the example

to excel in your present situation, and
