I may not be successful in getting Human Resources to change their minds on the salary for our Asst Director position, but it won't be for lack of evidence. [The general consensus was that a job of this type would pay anywhere from $27,000 to $45,000+. I have not included more specifics here because many people requested that their answers remain confidential.] I got some great information on job descriptions as well, which leads me to a question: has anyone ever considered making a database of language technology job descriptions? (indexed by duties, type of institution, etc; don't have to be identified by name necessarily). Seems like it might be a useful resource for language departments or information technology units, as well as a good point of reference for people like me who know the field well but would like some comparison points when creating new positions. Or/additionally, it would be useful for people like me who need to convince dept chairs & senior administrators that new positions of this type deserve appropriate salaries. I know IALL has kept up with job announcements, but I'm wondering about actual job descriptions, beyond what was included in the Management Manual....
