This Week in Jobs Pittburgh: Irma Gerd, SNL

Hi! You’re reading the Pittsburgh edition of This Week in Jobs (TWIJ), a weekly newsletter written by our team at Technical.ly in partnership with InnovatePGH and the Pittsburgh Innovation District. Each week we put together for you a slate of news and fresh job opportunities in the ‘burgh. If you’re not already subscribed, you can do so here.

ICYMI, this past weekend’s first episode of Saturday Night Live’s new season featured Chris Rock in one sketch as a Pittsburgh public health official, and a whole lot of double entendres that made it past NBC censors.

OK, it wasn’t exactly chock full of Pittsburgh pride or local references, but one of the best comedians of our time was standing in front of the city seal. And last week also saw Wiz Khalifa’s delivery-only restaurant chain open up in his hometown.

It’s a nice reminder that you gotta celebrate the wins, no matter how small. So after you check out all the job postings we have this week and apply to the ones that catch your fancy, give yourself a little cheer, and a little special treat, like a Mile High Dark Chocolate Brownie.
