Personal SWOT Analysis and 5 Year Plan

Strengths: I am creative due to my background as an artist, I have experience in Photoshop, Paint Tool SAI and other editing programs such as Gimp 2.0, I'm also a perfectionist and do not consider a job done until it's done exactly the way I imagined it. I consider settling for less a wasted creative opportunity.

Weaknesses: I can sometimes be unmotivated and distracted if the work I'm doing isn't practical, I'm not confident in own abilities and when given a task, assume that I will not be competent enough to do it, my perfectionism makes me overly particular and if I can't do something in a particular way, I will ultimately be disappointed in it.

Opportunities: I was recently moved to a higher level in my course, which means I will achieve a higher level diploma in a shorter amount of time instead of having to go through level 2 as well.

Threats: I struggle to get to college on time because of unreliable buses which affects my punctuality and attendance. I was slightly set back by being moved on to a higher level of the course and had to catch up with the others on my course.

My five year plan is to finish this course with a merit or distinction, after this I will apply to different film courses at a university level. If I cannot get in to university I will apply for jobs in the sector and try to find something full time so that I can think about living alone. If I do get in to university I will hopefully be on a three to four year course, ideally at the Farnham campus for the University For The Creative Arts or at the NUA on their Film and Moving Image Production Degree. After I've graduated I will have a degree to help me get on to a course much more easily than with just college level qualifications.
