First, review the 4 job descriptions and the XYZ Company Pointing Scale documents located in the Toolbox tab.

Using the scale provided, determine an overall point score for each job. After determining the point values for each job, provide your thoughts about the use of the point method for internal job evaluation.

Consider whether or not this should be the preferred method of job evaluation within organizations (and why or why not) and if not, what the preferred method should be.

Second, how does this process relate to the concept of "internal equity"?
