Welcome to the first D.C./Maryland/Virginia (DMV) edition of This Week in Jobs aka TWIJ!

We feel the DMV love in the air and we are cised to bring you career news for the area. Native DMV peeps know that each area has its own unique vibe, but one thing we do have in common is our desire to move on up!
