Week 1: Introduction, Personal SWOT Analysis

Introduction :

Hello! My name is Kshitij Gautam and I am currently a student here at Islington College. This is my final year here and I have loved every semester so far. I am pursuing bachelor's degree with finance specialization in this college. Before coming here, I completed my high school studies from Golden gate International College as a management student. As being a management student since the beginning of my student life, i have aimed of becoming an entrepreneur or be a financial analyst in the near future.

Here on campus I have been very active and involved in various programs organized by the college. Some of which include volunteering in graduation ceremony and career fest. Off campus, I have gained experience being an intern in Central Bank of Nepal, where I worked in Internal Debt Department. Although it was a 2 month internship it helped me a lot to understand about the organization setting and market.

I am very excited about writing blogs for the first time in my life and hope to gain  more knowledge and skills in coming days. 

Thank you!
