Day 5

A Strategy to Evaluate the Offers

Pat had interviews, but no offers. Then, within one week, suddenly two companies called and made good offers. Pat was taken by surprise and caught off guard.

How does he go about choosing the right one?

Pat seeks advice from a friend. Together they lay out a strategy to evaluate the offers. They put together a spreadsheet with the company names across the top. Down the left side of the page they list Pat's values and needs. Under each company they assign a score from 1to 10 for each of the following:

Security: Pat has been laid off twice in the past five years and is looking for a home with a solid company.

Balance: One of Pat's top personal values is his family. In his last job he worked more than 60 hours each week. He is not eager to get back into the work frenzy1 again.

Job Satisfaction: Pat wants to feel his work means something and that he's contributing and making a difference.

Location: This goes hand-in-hand with balance. If he has to spend three to four hour a day commuting2, it will mean time spent away from his family.

Salary and Benefits: Important, but not as important as the other values. He wants to be paid what he is worth, but would be willing to negotiate3 to get some of his other needs met.

After totaling the columns they compare total scores. The totals reveal that although one of the companies offers more money, the risks are higher and the time away from his family will not be worth the extra dollars. Pat feels more confident having a tool to work with to make the best decision for him and his family.
