Remember, a setback is just the beginning of a bounce back.

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.


Jump Around

As more public places gradually return back to “normal,” it’s important to appreciate some things we might have taken for granted. I missed being able to have a staycation weekend at a hotel and eating out regularly.

The stress of the pandemic is slowly lessening, but the stress of job hunting can seemingly be never-ending. That’s why it’s important to stay loose and take some time to relax.

And what better way to release some stress than jumping around on the world’s largest bounce house. The Big Bounce America tour will visit Maryland in September, so start practicing your flips.
