What is the difference between a formal and informal interview?
Q. I work in a school district, my boss recommended me for another position that is higher pay. I did not have to fill out another application. I just had to write a letter of interest. When I dropped off the letter of interest today, the interviewer called me back right away and asked me to come in tomorrow morning to speak with her and another director. She said it wouldn't be formal, but school starts next week. Should I be concerned that it is not a formal interview??

A. Formal interviews usually consist of a set of structured questions which are asked to each applicant. Informal interviews are unstructured and usually consist of random questions and conversation.

How can using a formal writing process help you create a more academic paper?
Q. How can a formal writing process(planning, drafting, developing, revising, editing, and proofreading)help you create a more academic paper?
Asked by michelle c - Tue Mar 27 20:51:34 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Simple. The more time you spend on a project, the better it becomes, and the more apparent it becomes to your teachers that you actually spent some time on it rather than slapping a few things together. As an English major I find that outlining helps me to organize my ideas, rather than just freewriting, which tends to go all over the place. I used to not believe in drafts, but after a while I saw that I got better grades when I wrote a rough draftt and later edited it. Teachers are always impressed with students who commit themselves to their work.
