This Week in Jobs: We’re one wild turkey

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.

Not what you’d expect

You probably think this week’s post is going to be about Thanksgiving. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s a mere two days away, or perhaps it’s the headline, directly referencing turkey.

Well, SURPRISE!

It’s not.

Because we’re unpredictable. We’re untamed and impossible to pin down. Just when you think you’ve got us figured out, we — oh goodness, is it 8:00 a.m. already? We should really hit the road if we want to stay on schedule.

Wait, what were we saying? Oh yeah, you never know what we might say or do. Because we’re rule breakers who never wear the same outfit twice, rabble rousers who defy expectations and — drat, we forgot to set up the crockpot for dinner. Better do that now.

The News

Dust off those biz cards. Philly Tech Week 2020, presented by Comcast, is officially slated for May 1 to 9, 2020 and there’s a myriad of ways to get involved. Here’s a lil’ cheat sheet for ya. Not that we condone cheating. It’s more like a shortcut for how to participate. Yes, that’s it — it’s efficient encouragement for participation. Are we babbling? It feels like we’re babbling.

flyGATEWAY, will be arriving at the old New Castle Airport: on time. The nonprofit flight school is ready to amp up the aviation workforce in Delaware, and it’s turning the 1,100-acre airport into an aerospace campus for aspiring aviators. Learn more about the program and its funding options here. And may your dreams fly as high as the sky. (Sorry.)

The Jobs

Even though we present a list of jobs the same way every single week, it’s because we want to, not because we’re tied to some rigid template, you know? Believe us, the second we decide to change it up, you won’t know what hit ya. We’re just wild and impulsive like that.

That said, we do want to assure you this list of jobs was responsibly compiled from reliable sources.

Come peer behind the curtain and see how the sausage is made at Technically Media. We’re looking for both a Marketing Analyst and a Marketing and Partnerships Manager to join our fam.

Covering the niche industry of equipment leasing (which few of its employees knew existed before they were hired — so fear not), Odessa’s LeaseWave platform does some pretty rad stuff. That was fairly vague. Apologies. Perhaps reading this will paint you a clearer picture.

• Senior Project Manager — ERP Implementations
• Business Architect

Ever get really tired of being asked the same question 10 times a day (obviously, right)? How about not being able to locate the one doc you really need?
