"My Needs" column, weigh the criteria on a scale
from 1 to 10 (with 1 being least important and 10 being most
important) against your personal needs. Use this column to
evaluate each company from whom you have an offer. Next, on a
scale from 1 to 10, weigh how well the company satisfies each
of the criteria. Finally, total the columns. The higher the
score, the closer the company comes to matching your needs. |
