Using the following SWOT Analysis please try to answer the following questions.

Strengths:

• I am very creative & passionate about what I like or things that connect to what I like.
• I notice small details.
• When I do find a way to word something comprehensibly, it can sound very formal (I have a large vocabulary due to reading often).
• First, nearly second-degree, black belt in TaeKwonDo.

Weaknesses:

• I can sometimes be overly emotional.
• I can get distracted easily.
• I sometimes have issues wording things in a way most can understand.
• I can sometimes be very withdrawn and/or socially anxious.

Opportunities:

• I have some experience with animals and children, so I could possibly go into services relating to them.
• Small town = easier time creating or setting up my own business due to a lack of current competition.
• There are currently quite a few restaurants/fast food places hiring.

Threats:

• My lack of ability to be understood or deal with social situations.
• Current economic status is questionable.
• I live in a small-town area which limits opportunities to get an entry-level or no-previous experience needed job that can be used for a future job I'd want.
