This Week in Jobs Philly: ‘Here’s Kitty!’

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.

A personal dispatch

As cats are the unspoken mascot of the Halloween season, there is never a better time to pay homage to our feline friends. This writer loves all animals, but as a proud owner of one adorable Noodle, I have to say I have a soft spot for kitties. So I thought we could celebrate this special time of year with a handwritten cameo from Miss Noodle:

“Meow, meow, meow, Kibble, meow, meow, meow, meow

My human is on deadline and pays more attention to this newsletter than me.

Pure poetry. Now, let’s sink our claws into some tech news and jobs.
