"We've had some great results from the ad on the Web site. Right now, our database shows 9 applicants from TCPA. ... I have had candidates send a resume indicating they saw the ad on TCPA that I have instructed to sign up for an on-campus interview since we had plans to be at their school. It seems like I see quite a few resumes that mention the ad on TCPA, so it's been great in helping to get our name recognized."

Personal finance
Ten ways to make your friends wish they knew as much about money as you do: No. 2 — Try budgeting your income and expenses. First of all, which is which? Your income is what you earn, it's your paycheck, your green, your cash in hand; and your expenses are what you spend, Friday night movie, new car, McDonald's. These two things go hand in hand, and if you try to map out a budget plan (even if it's just for a month), you will be able to know exactly where every single penny of your hard-earned cash goes. So keep your receipts (in your new, nifty folder) and keep a log of what money comes in, and what money goes out. You may surprise yourself at how much money you really spend each month, and maybe start to appreciate the relationship between you and your money. For more tips, go to:
