Write a post (200 words) describing your experience with interviewing for jobs or internships online. Describe what went well, what was unexpected, and what you wish you would have known/thought of before entering that situation. If you have not interviewed online, describe what you think about potentially interviewing online for professional positions in the near future. Read and respond to 2 of your classmates (50 words each). Either give them advice for their situations or respond to their experiences. Phillip Nguyen 3:45 I have never personally had an online interview before but I do expect it to be common in the future. When interviewing online, I believe that it will be difficult to portray your personality and a couple other features that are usually noticeable when doing it in person. An online interview would require a good connection with decent equipment so that technical disturbances are limited. If the equipment is not performing well, then it is going to interrupt the interview and look bad to the person you are talking to. Additionally, the setting might be another challenge for online interviews because some people have a loud background so it is going to distract the employer from hearing what you have to say. Also, I think an online interview is not so bad too. The hiring person is still able to see if you are dressed appropriately for the situation as if it is in person. I would feel relieved from anxiety during an online interview because I can be at a comfortable place at home and talk to the person. In the end, I would still prefer to do it in person since it has a natural aspect to it. Evan Tolley : 12:48 I have not interviewed online for any job positions or internships, but I was required to be interviewed online last year shortly after the pandemic began when I was applying to get into my community college’s accounting program. It went very well overall, but it caught me off guard that I was being interviewed by 6 or 7 people during the zoom call. I’m not sure if I would have been better off knowing that beforehand because I think it would have made me more nervous. I didn’t prepare for the interview beforehand thinking it was going to be fairly casual and looking back I feel like I was lucky that it went as well as it did, I would have prepared much better had I known that the interview process was going to be as intense as it was. Online interviews are nice in the sense that you can do them from the comfort of your home, but in the future I would hope to continue in-person interviews rather than online because I feel like it is a lot easier to make a connection when you are meeting face to face. Being able to actually go into my potential workplace and shake hands with the person interviewing me makes me feel more at ease than talking to someone over a zoom call.

MLA In-Text Citations: The Basics

Guidelines for referring to the works of others in your text using MLA style are covered throughout the MLA Handbook and in chapter 7 of the MLA Style Manual. Both books provide extensive examples, so it’s a good idea to consult them if you want to become even more familiar with MLA guidelines or if you have a particular reference question.

BASIC IN-TEXT CITATION RULES

In MLA Style, referring to the works of others in your text is done using parenthetical citations. This method involves providing relevant source information in parentheses whenever a sentence uses a quotation or paraphrase. Usually, the simplest way to do this is to put all of the source information in parentheses at the end of the sentence (i.e., just before the period). However, as the examples below will illustrate, there are situations where it makes sense to put the parenthetical elsewhere in the sentence, or even to leave information out.

General Guidelines

• The source information required in a parenthetical citation depends (1) upon the source medium (e.g. print, web, DVD) and (2) upon the source’s entry on the Works Cited page.
• Any source information that you provide in-text must correspond to the source information on the Works Cited page. More specifically, whatever signal word or phrase you provide to your readers in the text must be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of the corresponding entry on the Works Cited page.

IN-TEXT CITATIONS: AUTHOR-PAGE STYLE

MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the author’s last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page. The author’s name may appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence. For example:

Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (263).

Romantic poetry is characterized by the “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (Wordsworth 263).

Wordsworth extensively explored the role of emotion in the creative process (263).

Both citations in the examples above, (263) and (Wordsworth 263), tell readers that the information in the sentence can be located on page 263 of a work by an author named Wordsworth. If readers want more information about this source, they can turn to the Works Cited page, where, under the name of Wordsworth, they would find the following information:

Wordsworth, William. Lyrical Ballads. Oxford UP, 1967.

IN-TEXT CITATIONS FOR PRINT SOURCES WITH KNOWN AUTHOR

For print sources like books, magazines, scholarly journal articles, and newspapers, provide a signal word or phrase (usually the author’s last name) and a page number. If you provide the signal word/phrase in the sentence, you do not need to include it in the parenthetical citation.

Human beings have been described by Kenneth Burke as “symbol-using animals” (3).

Human beings have been described as “symbol-using animals” (Burke 3).

These examples must correspond to an entry that begins with Burke, which will be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of an entry on the Works Cited page:

Burke, Kenneth. Language as Symbolic Action: Essays on Life, Literature, and Method. University of California Press, 1966.
