This Week in Jobs Pittsburgh: Bernie Memes

Hi! You’re reading the Pittsburgh edition of This Week in Jobs (TWIJ), a weekly newsletter written by our team at Technical.ly in partnership with InnovatePGH and the Pittsburgh Innovation District. Each week we put together for you a slate of news and fresh job opportunities in the ‘burgh. If you’re not already subscribed, you can do so here.

It was the sensible winter jacket and manila envelope heard ‘round the world. The internet seemingly exploded last week after Sen. Bernie Sanders’ appearance at the presidential inauguration. Photoshoppers and social media managers alike had a field day inserting Bernie into every imaginable scene and 24 hours later, there’s a good chance your mom sent you one of them.

All because someone is staying true to themselves. Just remember that the next time you think you need to be someone else to get noticed.
