Greater Houston Partnership’s 2015 Houston Employment Forecast predicts slower job growth due to lower oil prices, other factors – Houston Business Journal

Houston's F&A Recruiter and Talent Connector

http://m.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2014/12/12/see-where-houston-job-growth-is-expected-in-2015.html?ana=e_du_pub&s=article_du&ed=2014-12-12&u=glKEt+uVA4SWk8BOTgN7pE+OY41&t=1418419169&r=full

After several years of extraordinary growth, Houston’s economy will grow at a slower pace in 2015, the Greater Houston Partnership estimates.

GHP’s annual Houston Employment Forecast, released Dec. 11, estimates the metropolitan area will add 62,900 jobs in 2015, and the year should finish with more than 3 million total nonfarm payroll jobs.

That figure seems significantly less than the current pace of growth, in which Houston added 120,000 jobs between October 2013 and October 2014, but GHP calls the current pace unsustainable.

For comparison, Houston created an average of 48,600 jobs per year from 1994 to 2013. Even removing the three best years and three worst years, the average is 58,400 jobs per year.

Questions to ask (and avoid) when interviewing for a job

Be memorable in an interview – for the right reasons.

The success or failure of a job interview doesn’t rest solely with the answers you give the hiring manager. The questions you ask can also speak volumes.

In a recent Robert Half survey, human-resources managers recounted the most unusual or surprising question they’ve received from a job seeker during an interview. Some of the highly questionable queries included:

•”Do I have to be at work every day?”
•”Would you consider going on a date with me?”
•”Can I have three weeks off every three months to pursue my music career?”
•”Can my husband finish this test for me?”
•”Is the boss single?”
•”Do you want to take a ride in my new car?”
•”Can you help me search for an apartment?”
•”What job is this for?”
