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.


Looking at the cargo ship that was stuck in the Suez Canal and thinking, “I can relate?”

We all go through periods of feeling “stuck,” whether it’s in an industry we don’t love, or a career that feels uninspiring.

The trick to un-sticking? Like the cargo ship, it’s good to try different strategies. Reach out to your network for informational interviews, try a new (and wildly unrelated to your career) hobby, and take a gander at new roles. You’ll never know what might help you shake loose.

The News

There’s a little piece of Pittsburgh on the Mars rover Perseverance. A spectroscopy technique developed by a professor at the University of Pittsburgh is analyzing samples on the Red Planet.

With the help of the county IT department, the Allegheny County Health Department is launching a newer user-friendly online vaccine registration system.

Pittsburgh is one of the robotics capitals of the world, says Industry Week in a profile of the city’s booming AI and robotics industry.
