irish22 0 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Hi All! I'm an activity assistant and CNA from NW Indiana. I'm currently working on my activity director certification and have been job hunting for a directors job. I have an interview for an AD job next Wednesday but I must admit I have no clue as to what kind of salary to negotiate for if I actually get it. As an assistant I currently get my CNA pay which honestly isn' t much. I feel content with it though because I just get to go out and have fun and help with the brainstorming. However I do feel as a director my compensation should be higher because of all the extra paperwork and responsibility not to mention managing a small activities staff. Since this will be my first AD job I was wondering what some of you guys salaries starting were and what sounds fair. I don't expect to become rich, I've already learned that working in LTC is really more a labor of love but at the same time I don't want to be cheated due to inexpierence in that department. I feel besides that I"m prepared for the interview. I have examples of programs I've established and run at my current location as well as some new ideas I would like to incorporate at a new facility. Any other hints you have will be appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
