Finally, look at any threats to your career growth. This part accounts for the external factors that could hurt the chances of attaining your goals.
Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years? Will there be a drastic change?

Once you have listed out your SWOT - It's now time to evaluate and determine further steps that need to be taken in order to achieve your goals.
There are mainly two methods:
1) Matching
2) Turning negatives into positives
The other method is converting your weaknesses into strengths or threats into opportunities.
For example: growing a skill set through education, finding a creative way to feature a weakness as a strength, etc.
This is the most important step of all: bringing the plan into action.
Start using your results to track your progress. Set up measurements and milestones and keep working toward them. Step by step, you will get where you want to be, so get started now!
For the opportunities section, look at the external factors you can take advantage of in pursuing a promotion, finding a new job or determining a direction for your career.
What will you gain from the opportunities that you might take advantage of?
List out all the things that will help you.

Have you calculated the risk involved?
Add a few questions and answers of your own related to the industry that you work in.

It is really important to be honest when you list out your weaknesses.
Ask people around you about your weaknesses - such as the colleague sitting next to you, your sibling or your best friend.
Have you ever heard a mother yell at her kid 'Get off your phone or I will throw that phone away'?
Again, be honest and list out all those negative work habits that you have. Your parents/wife/husband/colleagues might help you correctly point them out if you are stuck!
Begin by identifying your strengths. These are the traits or skills that set you apart from others.
List out all your strengths - if you get stuck, talk to people around you and ask for their input. Please be honest with yourself.
These are sample questions and sample answers, please feel free to add your own questions and answers.
