Strategic Statement
I want to become a project manager and work in an office rather than traveling from site to site. Renewable energy is one of the most significant fields in construction because everyone is trying to be more energy efficient and effective. I want to stay in the operation sector of renewable energy to gain more knowledge and experience. I am also open to a financial role if given an opportunity.
Career Strength and Weakness
My career strength is the in-depth knowledge that I have received from learning centers, and I have identified a companies that need project managers in Minnesota, such as Ever-Green Energy Inc. If given a chance to work in one of these companies, I will put my acquired knowledge into practice. Nonetheless, my primary weakness is that I have little experience compared to that which is essential for one to be considered for a project manager’s position. Since the construction industry needs much skills rather than theory, I will need a couple of more years in the field work as an intern to be fully prepared for a project manager opportunity.

Opportunities and Threats
Since I am a student focused on business and well conversant with the finance sector, I look forward to financial opportunities in the market as I preparer for project manager role. I know that given such a chance, I only need to put my knowledge into practice to ensure the success of the given company that will employ me. The threat is that since renewable energy is growing day in day out, I expect stiff competition from fellow scholars. Since everyone has plans, there may be some students who already have the field operations skills hence a step ahead of me. In addition, since I need more time in the field work, I may find the gap in the renewable industry full.
How I Will Use Each Element (SWOT) To Better Achieve My Career Goals
Since I have in-depth knowledge in the renewable industry, I target a personal assistant position of a project manager to learn the steps of planning, assembling and setting out projects. Moreover, I can seek a financial post in a renewable energy where I will explore my skills such as creating a budget, cost estimating, and documentation as well as acquire experience of the project manager’s position such as business partnering, time estimation, scalability analysis, and controlling quality (Kerzner, 2017, p. 31). With such a project manager’s skills, I am confident that I will be the among the best project managers in Minnesota.
I believe that determination and hard work will get me to the project manager’s position. In other words, I do not need an external reward to focus on an assigned role but my primary motive to be a project manager will motivate me (Davis & Loftus, 2017). Moreover, I will use the experience of my next door neighbor to learn more and get into the company. Since my neighbor is passionate about the renewable energy industry and enlightens people on the same, he advises students to attain more field experience. Hence, I am confident that through his help, I will achieve my goals.
Conclusion
My future goal is to be a project manager and work in an office rather than traveling from site to site. The primary strength that I have in the renewable energy is in-depth knowledge concerning it. Moreover, I also have a social connection of a next door neighbor who is passionate about energy conservation and serves in Ever-Green Energy Inc. My weakness is lack of fieldwork experience; hence I plan to have more field experience meanwhile. I have the opportunity to serve in a financial position if need be. The threat is that many students are majoring on the construction industry and have more experience than me. However, with my current exposure, determination, and hard work, I believe I will attain the project management position.
