Forget 'What are your strengths and weaknesses?' If you want to get the real dope on prospective employees, ask job candidates these seven questions.

Times have been tough for everyone in the hype business the last couple of years ... except at Hill & Knowlton, the WPP (WPPGY)-owned PR agency. There, everybody else's bad news is good for business.

Even smart people make financial moves that are downright illogical. Emotions and superstitions have a sneaky way of keeping you from rational financial decisions. But dumb choices can have serious, real-world consequences. Here are some of the biggest blunders we all make, plus tips from the experts on how to keep cool.

  • The unemployment rate in RGV is now upwards of 11.
    I would like to thank our visitor for communicating the following message to us. I just thought it would be appropriate to bring the following fact to your attention. The unemployment rate in RGV is now upwards of 11. Why not update your information on your site? Otherwise, this might create a false sense of security for people wanting to relocate here. Take this as creative criticism and not negative input. My response would be as follows: Yes, according to The Monitor, we are above 11. However, I believe, if we took percentages of people actually looking for work and not being picky on what the job was, the percentage would be lower compared to the rest of the country. (I'm sure that came out all wrong. Feel free to blast away.) For example, Stay at home moms (which is the best job ever), semi-retired people, people that get paid more for not working. Second as to updating the website, feel free to do so. I've always envisioned this as a community site. If you would like to update any article or add one, please feel free to do so. You can take full credit for writing it, as long as I own it. :) The 3rd reason for both of the above is "it's a money thing."
