In the first column, list the conditions you want to evaluate
and compare.
For example, you will want to compare such things as how well
each job meets your interests, values, and skills. Will you
have to go back to school or learn certain skills before
are qualified for the job? What can you expect the starting
salary to be for each job?
Arrange your list of requirements from most important to least
important.
Arrange your list of occupations in the other columns and title
them. For example, you might be considering three career options,
such as nursing, teaching, and journalism. If you have more than
three options, add extra columns to the sheet.
In each column, note how well the occupation matches the requirements
listed. If you don't know how well an occupation satisfies a
particular requirement, do some more research to find out.
Compare how each option meets the different requirements you have
listed and choose the one which seems to most closely match your
requirements. |
