Hypothetically, if I was accepted to both ISS and IBM, which one would I choose?
When I was in high school Mr. Moore lectured about decision making and about the process of enumerating pros and cons. In college we learned to make decisions by quantifying those pros and cons and assigning a weight to each. (Proximity may weigh more heavily in person A's eyes than in person B's.) Let me start over. We each have something we look for in a job. It could be the salary, the prestige, or even the benefits. These are your desires and you assign a value to each according to their importance. We have options, for me it's ISS and IBM. Now we rate the likelihood that my desires will be met if I chose company A over company B. Here's what it looks like.
Simply put, ISS is more prestigious, the work is more challenging, and it won't disrupt with my normal schedule. IBM on the other hand is closer, and I won't have to deal with rush hour. It looks like ISS outweighs IBM. Oh wait, I forgot to include that ISS is a temp job that does not guarantee I'll be regularized.
doh....
