This Week in Jobs: Tips for data engineers, city government jobs and good movies

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.

It’s made with real bits of panther, so you know it’s good.

We’re not trying to sound like your mother, but have you gotten your flu shot yet? The CDC reports that it reduces the risk of the flu by 40 to 60%. And if there’s anything we know with 100% certainty, it’s that “60% of the time, it works every time.”

If you’ve never seen “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy,” that quote will make little to no sense. More importantly, it means you have not seen one of the greatest films of our time. Proceed with your life accordingly.

Wait. First read the rest of this newsletter. We guarantee you’ll love it, or your money back. (Newsflash: it’s free.)
