This Week in Jobs: Author your next career move with these open tech roles

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; it’s meant to live in your inbox. Sign up for the newsletter here.

November note: For the next several weeks, we’re trialing a single consolidated national TWIJ rather than our separate geographically focused versions. We’ve heard from both jobseekers and hiring companies over the last year that they’re increasingly interested in opportunities beyond their immediate region, and we hope you enjoy this updated format.

We will be sharing a reader survey later in November for feedback, and if you have immediate thoughts or questions, please reach out to sam@technical.ly.

The Next Chapter

Looking for a creative outlet? Why not try writing a book?

Seriously. And in the month of November, you’ve got plenty of help. NaNoWriMo (or National Novel Writing Month) encourages novel and experienced novelists to pen a manuscript in just 30 days through a supportive online community.

It might sound intimidating, but here’s the math: many novels clock in at around 50,000 words. So, to write a book, you’ve only got to pen 2,000 words a day on average. It might sound tricky, but every journey begins with a single step (or sentence).

If you’ve had a novel kicking around in your noggin, maybe this is the month you make it happen. Who knows? Plugging into that creative outlet might help you feel unstuck elsewhere.
