Paraphrase and Quatation in " The Publication of Your Personal Profile"

An example of paraphrase: In the third interview, Carrier Ramsey, a staff member who works in the human resources department, said that she has never looked at a potential employee’s personal web page because she wants to focus solely on the skills and experiences of the potential employee.(Ramsey)
An example of quotation: “ The sheer enormity of Internet makes it both a powerful tool and also a Pandora’s box of problems”(Mohanty and Vohra 160)
In my opinion, the writer used paraphrase and quotation to make her article more persuasive and objective. It saved her time to find out this information by doing interviews or surveys on her own. She just collected information and used them to support her own thesis and showed them to the readers. It gave readers a broader horizon of her statement by paraphrasing and quotating.
The paraphrase gives an example of the an interview’s result to demonstrate there are effects on employing people if the employee see the personal things posted on the Facebook and Myspace. The quotation was used to be a topic sentence to show that posting information on the Internet can be a benefit or a disaster. Strangers can easily have access to your personal information. That is not safe for private information.
