Task 1: Career Goal
Rajendra (2017) stated that every person has a career goal that leads the person inaccurate direction. I have also a career goal. Here, I have presented my three career goals. My first choice is to work in hospitality management in the well-renowned tourist industry. My second choice is to work as a marketing manager in a well-renowned company. My third choice is to work as a human resource manager in a well-renowned company. Among these three choices, I have liked hospitality management as my career because this sector has great potentiality. According to Fisher (2016), the number of Tourism companies is increasing day by day that increases the job sources around the world. In addition, the people are very much like to travel in several countries. In addition, the profitability and prospects of this industry are increasing day by day (Fisher, 2016).
For this reason, this sector has the lower challenge of decreasing the demand. This sector also creates a better opportunity for me to improve my future career. I will improve my management and leadership knowledge, especially in the tourism industry. To fulfill my goal, I have needed to complete my study, gain enough qualities, skills and knowledge effectively and efficiently. I have to acquire strengths and decrease my weaknesses to get my future career. This tourism sector has enough facilities and a good salary range for the staff. Therefore, I choose this sector for my future career development. The tourism sector also offers several employee benefits for the employees that also a reason to set my future career in this sector. But I do have not enough qualities to be a hospitality manager in a well-renowned tourist industry. Therefore, I have to complete my study and acquire enough skills, strengths and experience to attain my career goal.
Task 2: Current Reality
SWOT analysis helps to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (Meyar, 2017). I have also asked five people by using a questionnaire to find my personal strengths.

I have also identified from the questionnaire that 3 people said that I am an incorruptible person, confident, honest. The other two people said that I have connectivity power and team working knowledge.
At present, I have some weaknesses also. From my SWOT analysis, I have found that I have several weaknesses including lack of knowledge and practical experiences, lack of training facility, several social barriers, lack of career planning, poor personal development facility (Meyar, 2017). In addition, I have also personal obstacles that create barriers to attain my career goal. I have also faced some threats to attain my career goal. It includes negative trends and challenges in my career paths, huge competition in the job market, technological changes in the career platforms, and several barriers in career changes.
However, my weaknesses and threats can be removed by holding the opportunities in my career goals. I have enough qualities to ensure my career in several sectors. I have also enough facility to gain the technical and personal qualities that help to remove the weaknesses and achieve my career goals. There are huge facilities for the educational opportunities, advancement and promotion facility that lead to remove the weaknesses and threats and achieve my career goals (Meyar, 2017). At present, the jobs sectors are numerous that creates opportunities for a career change. In addition, I have gotten several social opportunities to remove my weaknesses and threats and achieve my career goals.
