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.


Earn Your Stripes

You can never be too prepared, whether it’s for work or just life in general.

That goes doubly for … seeing a zebra. Yes, that’s right. A few Marlboro residents recently spotted three zebras that escaped from a private game farm casually roaming around a suburban area.

This serves as a reminder to always be prepared for anything. Though I can’t imagine you’ll have any zebras interrupting your next job interview.

The News
