This Week in Jobs Pittsburgh: Catch You Later, Calibri

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.

Farewell, Calibri, we hardly knew ye.

After 15 years as Microsoft Office’s default font, the familiar sans-serif is being swapped out next year. While we bid the font goodbye, the team at Microsoft is collecting feedback on five new fonts and asking users to help decide which will be the newest default.

Unfortunately for you chaos agents out there, Comic Sans and Wingdings are not in the running.

But that begs the question — if Office is overhauling the classics, maybe you should, too.

Dust off that old resume, try a new font or two and check out this week’s jobs.
