Hi Friends,
If you would be so kind as to take a look at the below job posting and let me know what you think the salary range might be for such a position I would really appreciate it. Keep in mind that the employer is a southern california graduate school. Hoping for an answer before tomorrow morning. Thanks in advance!

Due to the nature of many of the school’s initiatives, this position requires specific technical knowledge, skills, and abilities, described below. In addition, this position requires general knowledge, skills, and abilities related to the school’s operation. Some duties are recurring, but many are done only occasionally, and some are ad hoc. The person who fills this position must handle all tasks, especially recurring ones, with minimal supervision. She or he must also help students and others in a courteous and professional manner.

Qualifications: 
Internet research, including searching, verification, and summarization; web design and implementation, using current tools (e.g., Adobe Creative Suite); writing, including research reports, Web page copy, ad hoc letters, etc.; advanced office software (e.g., Microsoft Office); ability to work independently; ability to handle concurrent tasks; ability to do accurate, quality work; ability to communicate in a pleasant, informed, and professional manner.

I don't know what current salary ranges in CA would be, but in NY it would be between $12 and $18 per hour and not worth it. The job description is similar to a some of the positions I have had. They end up being 3 to 4 full time positions that you are expected to accomplish. It will be high pressure, low satisfaction and low appreciation. Unless there are 25 or less students in this college, putting that many duties into one position is asking too much of one person.

Yikes! That is a broad range of responsibilities. I agree with Kandi in that it looks like several different jobs compacted into one. I would say that job would probably pay $12-$15/hr. in Oklahoma (but it would be worth much more). In California, the rate would probably be about $4-$5/hr. higher????

Looks like they want someone who is highly qualified to do a lot of work at low pay.
