"Say, I LIKE your 'can-do' attitude!

Let me think...(Dean Jones looks over your resume')...

I see that you have one year of work experience in Europe.  Do you think you might leverage that experience and your 'work connections' to set up overseas internships for some of our business students? 

They would have to be bona fide internships, run through our university's internship office, and supervised by a manager at the appropriate European facility. 

However, for each semester-long internship you are able to set up (or continue) , I will give you a BONUS equal to a 4 percentile salary increase. 

How would this work?  Suppose you work with your European business partners and get five internships created each semester; that is ten student internships per academic year. 

Ten internships x 4% = 40% pay bonus.

Add that 40% bonus to your 53 percentile salary and you are at the 93 percentile!  The maximum I can pay for is eleven, which puts you at the 97th percentile.  Sound acceptable?

==========

Thus, here is the offer that I'd like to make:

**TWO guaranteed trip to a conference each year for two years

**$1,000 for software to analyze data

**$10,000 for hardware (i.e., special computer processor and other equipment)

**A nine-month salary at the 53rd percentile plus a bonus (equivalent to a 4% percentile raise) for each semester-long European student internship you create (or continue); the maximum number of such internships is eleven per academic year.

**Required to teach two summer sessions, none of which count toward your teaching load

**Two-days-a-week teaching schedule.

**One graduate research assistant for one calendar year.

**You can use multiple-choice tests to better accommodate your heavy teaching schedule."

Your Response:

1.    Yes, that seems quite fair.

2.    Will I get a free trip to Europe twice a year to check on the interns?
