This Week in Jobs Pittsburgh: ‘What I Did Over Quarantine’

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.

Last week brought the news of not only a surprise Taylor Swift album (her second full-length release in 2020), but also the announcement that 10 new Star Wars-universe shows are greenlit at Disney+.

In a year where for many of us, leaving the house is a big win, these weirdly over-productive creative announcements feel like the kid in class who came with a full 10-page bound report about “What I Did on My Summer Vacation,” while you just jotted down some notes on a used napkin with crayon.

So, in case you needed to hear it today, you don’t need to come out of 2020 producing more music than ever or a streaming television show based on a beloved franchise.

Heck, you don’t even need to do your own job search. That’s where we come in:
