In the lesson we had a task that was very similar to last year in MPD. We did a SWAIN analysis of ourself which stands for Strength, Weakness, Aspirations, Interest, Needs. This is a very important tool in order to see myself where i stand , identify what areas i am good at and where i need to make improvements to reach a certain goal or target.

  

In order to get a more appropriate result we were asked to pair up in two and discuss our SWAIN that is most likely related to our career pathways. Unfortunately, i did not get the opportunity to discuss my viewpoints and ideas with another partner as i missed the lecture. Anyhow since i had done something similar in my previous lesson in MPD it helped me a great deal to do my SWAIN analysis. 

I found that it was quite easy to mention about my strength, aspiration, interest and needs whereas i could not think off many weaknesses. I also realized being completely honest about my weakness can seriously hamper towards my career targets. Having said that i realized that if you know how to tackle the weakness it might prove to be a strength in that matter. For example one of the weakness i mentioned was (perfectionist) this can either be a strength or a weakness but for me i mentioned it under my weakness but in the process of doing this analysis i realized how to improve on my weakness that will help me in my career pathways. 

After completely upon this analysis, i discovered that i have a long way to achieve my goals which could only be done if i make  certain targets and work on them. This is what my SWAIN analysis looks like where i have also mentioned how i am going to achieve my goals and work on them.
