In the MLA Handbook, however, Gibaldi finds that it is rarely appropriate to use italics for emphasis in writing research papers (95) and that In research papers and manuscripts submitted for publication, words that would be italicized in print are best underlined (94).
Follow-Up Calls. Wait seven to 10 days to call a potential employer after a job interview. If the employer gave you a shorter timetable, wait until the day after the date he gave you before calling to inquire about the position.
I am currently on the job hunt and I had a question about applying to jobs online. You know how most websites will tell you the job has been posted 1 day ago, 28 days ago, etc. For some reason, I have concluded that I need to apply to a job the first week they post the position to have the best chances of being hired. Although I heard that it can take up to a month for the company to hire anyone for the position, I feel that applying to a job that was posted 3 weeks ago isnât that promising.
