Job Offer Areas of Concern
I appreciate the opportunity to be considered
for the OCD Webmaster position. As communicating is an integral part of the
overall objectives of research, I feel my abilities could contribute to the achievements
of this division. Being a full time student, I must ask for certain concessions
to be considered, most importantly of which will be my scheduling.

hours are required for Monday and Wednesday, as well as Tuesday, Thursday,
and Friday mornings.
- Opportunity to have face-to-face meetings/conceptual conferences
2-3 times per week in times above stated.
- I have a workstation set up at home, with a computer entirely
devoted to work purposes, a 56k modem, a flatbed scanner, color printer,
and all the necessary software and conditions get work done efficiently
from home.
- Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:30-6:00 I will be in my office
working.
- Fridays will be open for appointments and situations where it is
necessary for me to be in my office rather then WAH.

Area of Responsibility
- Addition of CHAMP will add an estimated 5-10 hours to an
average work week.
- Due to the fluctuating workload (as has been my experience)
occasionally times will arise where surplus hours will be necessary in
order to get the job done.
Although it would be ideal to get paid for these excess hours, I
understand that matters of budgeting are involved. I might suggest that I
work these surplus hours when needed, and get paid for a fixed hour work
week, if in turn I could later balance out those surplus hours to use for
college related, personal (including sickness and mini-vacations) purposes;
especially near mid-term and finals.
- The assumption has been made, on my part, that my responsibilities
will continue to be similar to the past two years. If additional demands
are made, it is reasonable ask that primary responsibilities shall be
either maintained or shifted to a secondary nature.
It would be advantageous to
have a singular control mechanism to allocate the priority of work assignments,
insuring satisfactory conditions for performance benefiting the division.
Future Prospects
- What are the chances that a position will be available to me in
the future that will provide long-term security?
- Will I be considered for a more permanent position with benefits
and higher pay should one come available?
- Upon completion of training and educational levels, will there be
advancement commensurate to my achievements?
