manager for Gecko Insurance, is considering three job candidates for an open
senior customer service representative position. In trying to decide which
candidate is the best overall fit for the job, Sally has concluded that three
criteria are important in this decision. First, of course, is to have a
candidate with at least five years of customer service experience in the car
insurance industry working in a call center. This objective is most important,
twice as important as each of the other two criteria. The second criterion is
to have a candidate with excellent customer service skills. The third criterion
is for the candidate to have some experience in a coaching or supervisory role.

prepare this candidate for that job. The second and third benchmarks are
