Editor’s note: Every week we ship an email newsletter featuring the region’s most exciting career opportunities. We’ve lovingly called it This Week in Jobs (aka TWIJ — “twidge.”). Below is this week’s edition. Here’s the last one we published; it’s meant to live in your inbox. Sign up for the newsletter here.
Welcome to Jurassic Parking
TWIJ is living in 3020: We’ve got GIFs. And to celebrate our push to the future, we’re taking things prehistoric.
Dinosaurs and volcanoes have taken over the parking lot at RFK Stadium in D.C.

Cue up some Rhythm Heritage and loosen those fingers: With companies working remotely for the foreseeable future, a Maryland business group launched a Cyber SWAT Team to combat the ne’er-do-wells of the cyber world. The team manages a free incident assistance hotline for businesses struck by digital bad actors. If only the hold music could match the legendary ‘70s theme song.
