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.


(Pumpkin) Patch Yourself Up

Fall is finally upon us. And with the leaves set to change color and fall soon, there are plenty of farms around Maryland ready to celebrate this spooky season with pumpkin patches, corn mazes and more.

The only thing spookier than getting lost in a huge corn maze is job hunting. But just like getting lost in a maze, the important thing to remember is to never stop searching.

There’s something exciting waiting for you. You just need to stay persistent and find it (and watch out for ghosts).
