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.
If they tell the job seeker it will be two weeks then the job seeker should wait at least until those two weeks are up. Then follow through with a friendly email. The employer will not base their decision on the job seekerâs follow up.
