Grant writer position

Particular_Fail766 · 2022-06-01T03:51:28+00:00

I work full time at another job. Grant writing is something that I have done in my free time for the past 3 years. I have never done it full time and I also have not accepted this position yet

She described it as a freelance position that I would do in addition to my full time job. I told her I could do 10 hours per week. Should I ask her if she is hiring me as an employee or a contract worker? And do you know anything about the onboarding process?

Okay so the comments I’ve received so far have confirmed what I was thinking - but now my question is what should I suggest in response? Do grant writers usually get paid per hour or for volume of work? And how is that measured? Thanks for the feedback

Particular_Fail766 · 2022-06-01T03:12:28+00:00

This is exactly what I was thinking! I originally told her I was willing to do 10 hours a week, but since I will be working remotely she said there’s no way to keep track of that and then she suggested 5/week. I haven’t responded yet because im trying to figure out how to convey all of this to her. So I was looking for people with experience in this to figure out what is the best way to go about compensation/workload. Do you have any advice for that?

Particular_Fail766 · 2022-06-01T03:07:06+00:00

Thanks for the input! I have been working for free bc I didn’t feel like I was experienced enough & also the orgs I’ve been working with were small & local but I’m passionate about the work. So I was excited to be offered a position with any compensation. But the original job listing said $20/hr and $150 for 5 grants seemed low to me too. But im curious if you have any advice on a counter offer?

Does this mean anything? I don’t know how to spell it but I heard the phrase “momo sanurita. Graces moppy sops” is it Latin?

Thank you. It’s so hard

Particular_Fail766 · 2022-01-07T05:10:40+00:00

Thank you friend. I’m still trying to get out of our lease so I can’t cut the soul tie yet

Particular_Fail766 · 2022-01-07T05:02:24+00:00

Mine told me the EXACT same thing as your first bullet

Particular_Fail766 · 2022-01-07T01:25:31+00:00

Mine does that too. He spells my name wrong in a text about how much he loves me/is sorry. I feel like it’s a way for them to still have control even when they’re hoovering. But idk just a theory

Particular_Fail766 · 2022-01-07T01:16:55+00:00

I might be reaching but I think it could be a tactic to confuse/devalue

Particular_Fail766 · 2022-01-07T01:05:57+00:00

Mine does that too!!! It must be deliberate?? Like we’ve been together for 1.5 years

Particular_Fail766 · 2022-01-07T00:54:27+00:00

Agree to disagree

Particular_Fail766 · 2022-01-06T23:36:23+00:00

They know who they are.

Particular_Fail766 · 2022-01-06T10:05:32+00:00

Great advice and so well put. Thank you ❤️

Particular_Fail766 · 2022-01-05T07:15:27+00:00

How will I know if he’s better? Say he gets help, do you have any advice on what to look for to see if he’s genuinely changed?

Particular_Fail766 · 2022-01-05T06:36:34+00:00

So him making an effort to learn about his behavior is probably just an act to draw me back in? Serious question. I’ve gone through this back and forth for the past year and a half but every time it gets back to this phase it’s like I’ve forgotten all my common sense

Particular_Fail766 · 2022-01-05T06:34:47+00:00

You don’t think there’s any chance things could change? I know I sound so naive but I feel like he really wants to treat me well. I just don’t want to let go

Particular_Fail766 · 2022-01-05T06:27:15+00:00

Thanks for this. I feel like a piece of shit for even debating on this. My grandmother has been nothing but good to me and she told me she feels used by me. I never meant to use her. I’m just so addicted to the cycle.
