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.


It’s hot, the days are long, and it’s the perfect time of year to sneak in a power nap. Not to be confused with an hour-plus nap where you wake up groggy and confused, taking a short nap in the day might just be the ultimate work productivity hack. If you’re unconvinced, look at the research. A 20-minute nap can leave you feeling refreshed, with improved memory and higher “cognitive power” overall.

So wanna be smart with the memory of an elephant? Time to hit the hay.

And if you’re dreaming about a new job, keep reading.
