I graduated in May, and I began working for a non-profit medical society
as "publications coordinator" (I edit all of our publications, which
include a medical journal, member newsletter, and anything else that pops
up) in June. I was hired on a part-time basis, but during my interview
I was asked if I would be interested in going full-time eventually, if
they gave me additional responsibilities. Well, of course I would be.. I
won't get into why I took a part-time job in the first place.

Anyway, today one of the higher-ups asked to speak to me, and she asked me
again if I was interested in a full-time position. She said nothing was
definite yet as far as what my additional responsibilities would be, but
they would generally fall under the category of "communications." I am
almost positive that a big part of my new workload would consist of
dealings with membership (the woman who does all of that now is resigning,
and I have a feeling they are thinking of giving me her work instead of
hiring someone else).

The thing is, I have about zero desire to do that kind of work. I am an
editor.. that's what I love.. but I also want (and need) the full-time
position, so I am willing to do it. However, I definitely want to be
compensated for it. Not only would I be changing from part-time to
full-time status, but I would also be doing a job I would not normally
choose to do. My question is, what kind of salary increase do you think is
fair in this situation?

Thanks for any and all opinions.
Erin McLaughlin
