Re: Jobs
After having read all these very valid complaints about job listings
with no salary mentioned I am feeling energized to do something about
it. Isn't there some way to use the collective power of this list to
take action?
It seems to me that many of the job listings are posted for places
that don't actually have anyone on this list so they aren't going to
see the gripes. So how about the next time someone asks you to post a
job ad on this listserv you politely mention that the people on the
list respond much better to at least an estimate or salary range.
Or we could even ask SAA to make it a requirement that job ads listed
with them at least give some clue as to the salary. Who knows if it
would work but we could at least ASK.
Or next time you see a job ad with no salary range maybe the
institution should be the recipient of a bunch of polite emails from
archivists pointing out that they wouldn't even consider pursuing this
job without a listed salary.
Just a thought.
