What should be in the matrix are the 3 technology careers/positions (i.e. system analysis, software engineer, help desk technician) to evaluate, the 5 criteria to be

important.
An example of the matrix is in this section as an attachment. Additional Resources are available under the GCFLearnFree.org section.
