As a hiring manager for a large multi national bank, Director in several small and mid-sized companies, and as a University professor, I am asked the same question time and time again by students trying to choose between jobs...."If I have a few offers on the table, how do I select which job to take?" Well, rather than repeat myself over and over again, I have put together an example hypothetical rubric that I think could help guide a robust decision-making process. The key to the rubric is that it tries to balance career aspirations against life goals and provide a semi-quantitative gauge to make the process of choosing more explicit and less guesswork. What you need to do is to fill out the qualitative text in the Job A and Job B columns. Next, use a simple coding mechanism to evaluate the strengths versus weaknesses of each job for each category. At the bottom, you sum up the scores to give yourself a good recommendation. After you’ve completed one round, erase the data and ask someone trusted to complete it for you, and compare the results
