Amy, I suggest you post your request for an MLA roomie to EGO's list serve as well. There always seems to be someone going to every conference. As for tips, I'd look to the Chronicle. They have all kinds of tips. -----Original Message----- From: comptesol-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:comptesol-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of ms lynch Sent: Tuesday, December 13, 2005 11:58 AM To: comptesol@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Help! MLA & Interviews Happy End-of-Semester! I am having a bit of a panic, and I'm hoping my IUP friends can help me out. I am interviewing for a position at Mount Union College (they're in Ohio) at the MLA conference on Dec 29th in Washington, D.C. Woo-hoo! Now, the panic ensues. I had not originally intended to attend MLA, and, now that I've registered, I have no place to stay. If anyone is going, I'd be pleased to rent some space on your hotel room floor. Also, I've never interviewed for a tenture track position before, and have no idea what sort of questions they will ask, or what sort of the questions I should be asking. Any and all advice is appreciated! Now, back to grading. Amy
