Introduction

This page outlines the current expectations for the body of work of staff and interns in the Profiles program.

Expectations

Experienced StaffExperienced Intern
Full Profile Research – bio, experience, education, add.bio, addresses tabs in admin25-30 per day (20-25 minutes per politician)25 per week (20-25 minutes per politician)

Contact Information – physical and web addresses60-90 per day (5-10 minutes per politician)120-180 per week (5-10 minutes per politician)

Staff Expectations: These expectations are based on how much experienced researchers focusing solely on research are completing in an 8 hour work day. Other responsibilities for staff (intern supervision, QC, meetings) can take away from this dedicated research time. An experienced staff member can be defined as a staff member past the 6 month mark.

Intern Expectations: These expectations are based on a fully-trained intern (post-midterm evaluation) and total numbers are based on the standard intern work schedule of 10 hours per week. An experienced intern can be defined as an intern past the mid-term evaluation (approx. 5-7 weeks).

All Staff/Interns: These numbers can be cross-referenced to the Profiles Daily Work Tracking document to review current and previous research output with the set target metrics outlined above. Research productivity will vary significantly by state and office level for all research areas.

*These are estimates based on current and former Research Director's experience and consultation with current staff members. Actual time trials and tests would be useful to either confirm or adjust these estimates.

I believe an experienced staff member would be defined as one here about 6 months and an experienced intern one who is mid-way through a part-time internship (at 5 weeks or 65 out of 130 hours). Please clarify that here.

Also, I believe these expectations are now based on real trials.
