How to Navigate the Jungle of Online Job Postings

You probably haven't looked for a job in a newspaper's classified pages since the Bush administration—possibly the first one. It could be worth reviving this old-school strategy because many of the listings offer a way to bypass those dreaded online application portals.
Clicking 'apply' for an online job posting can feel like tossing your résumé into a digital abyss. A lot of employers disdain also the process because so many job seekers use artificial intelligence to apply en masse.

Why APA Corporation Stock Rocked the Market Today

Key Points The company notched a pair of convincing beats in its second quarter. It crushed the average analyst projection for adjusted net income. 10 stocks we like better than Apa › Habitually profitable oil and gas company APA Corporation (NASDAQ: APA) posted a better-than-expected bottom line in its second quarter after market close Wednesday. Investors rewarded this by pushing its stock nearly 8% higher the following trading session. That compared very well to the S&P 500 index, which ended the session slightly down from Wednesday's close. Holding up well in the second quarter Oil prices weren't what they were not so long ago, so APA posted operational and financial declines in the quarter. On the back of a 2% year-over-year slide in barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) per day to 465,078, total revenue slipped to $2.61 billion from the year-ago quarter's $2.79 billion. Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) net profit headed in the opposite direction, rising to $665 million from $620 million. On a non-GAAP (adjusted), per-share basis, however, APA earned $0.87 on the bottom line against $1.17. Yet these results were more than good enough to top the average analyst estimates -- to understate the case. These called for an adjusted, bottom-line profit of merely $0.45 and total revenue of $2.07 billion. Upside surprises both at home and abroad APA attributed the better-than-expected performance to several factors, not least of which was its operations in the Permian Basin. It said that its oil production there exceeded its own guidance despite a significant (25%) reduction in rig count. Similarly, overseas it topped its internal targets for gas production, and in a hopeful note for the future, increased its forecasts for this in the second half of 2025.

Chad T. Wilson Law Firm Supports Landmark Reforms in Surplus Lines Insurance Arbitration with Passage of HB 2275/SB 455

HOUSTON, August 07, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Chad T. Wilson Law Firm proudly announces its support for and involvement in the passage of House Bill 2275/Senate Bill 455—a transformative legislation that reforms arbitration procedures in surplus lines insurance contracts for Texas policyholders. Under previous practices, surplus lines insurance contracts included provisions requiring disputes that originated in Texas to be resolved out of state and not under Texas laws. This placed a significant burden on Texas policyholders and undermined state-level legal protections. HB 2275/SB 455 addresses this issue by mandating that arbitration for surplus lines insurance policies must be conducted within the state and governed by Texas law. These changes ensure that insurance contract disputes will now be resolved on Texas soil, under Texas statutes. The legislation also includes provisions allowing an alternative arbitration venue only if both the insurer and policyholder consent post-arbitrator selection—and only if the insurer provides a written request along with a premium credit to the policyholder to compensate for venue-related costs. This reform marks a major shift in the legal and operational landscape for both insurers and insureds. For policyholders, this bill restores local jurisdictional control, reduces litigation expenses, and ensures more equitable access to dispute resolution. For insurers, it provides clearer, uniform requirements when structuring arbitration clauses in surplus lines contracts. The Chad T. Wilson Law Firm has maintained an active involvement in supporting this legislation, recognizing the need for fairness and transparency in how surplus lines disputes are handled. This reform is particularly timely as surplus lines insurance becomes an increasingly common recourse for Texas residents seeking property and casualty coverage in hard-to-insure areas. Ensuring that these policies are governed by Texas laws and arbitrated within the state protects consumer rights and ensures accountability in the surplus lines market. About Chad T. Wilson Law Firm The Chad T. Wilson Law Firm is dedicated to representing policyholders in insurance disputes. We specialize in fighting on behalf of policyholders when insurance companies fail to honor their contracts. View source version on Contacts For media inquiries, please contact: Chad T.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams, seeking to ramp up ground game, opens new campaign office in Brooklyn

NEW YORK — Mayor Eric Adams opened a new campaign office in Brooklyn Thursday, saying he'll use it as a base for his reelection team as they seek to shore up support for his reelection bid in the borough. 'This office here will be (manned) by dedicated New Yorkers, and thousands of New Yorkers will hit the streets, make phone calls, give our message out that has never been told,' Adams, who's facing a difficult path to reelection as an independent in November's mayoral contest, said outside the new office in Old Mill Basin. Nestled in between a smokeshop and a Chinese restaurant in a retail strip, the Avenue T storefront office is a bit remote, more than 3 miles away from subway connections. The sleepy, mostly residential southeastern Brooklyn neighborhood has a relatively small population. Adams, the former borough president, is looking to ramp up his ground game comes as he faces political headwinds in seeking a second term, especially in Brooklyn, where Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani made serious inroads in June's primary. Still facing fallout over the controversial dismissal of his federal corruption indictment, Adams' approval ratings are at historic lows while polls show him well behind Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo, who's also running as an independent in November. Adams' reelection team, meantime, was again denied millions of dollars in public matching funds this week because the Campaign Finance Board still believes he 'has violated the law.' 'Obstacles, bumps in the road, that's what a kid from Brownsville is used to,' Adams said when asked if he's frustrated by the CFB's latest matching funds denial, which his campaign has vowed to contest. 'My life has been bumps in the road, but I'm still here.' The office itself is housed in the headquarters of the Thomas Jefferson Democratic Club, an organization headed by Frank Seddio, a longtime Adams ally who used to be the Brooklyn Democratic Party boss. Inside the office, there were still signs Thursday the space is being used by the club, including framed portraits of Seddio and Meade Esposito, the group's late ex-boss. Adams is required to pay market rate rent for the space as it would otherwise amount to an illicit in-kind contribution. Adams campaign spokesman Todd Shapiro said his team is paying rent to the same landlord Seddio's club leases the space from, but wouldn't share how much they're being charged. _____ (With Graham Rayman.) _____
