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.


Pennsylvania’s got a new celebrity in the form of a three-year-old Pekingese named Wasabi. The small-but-mighty pup took top honors at last weekend’s long-delayed Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.

Though significantly smaller than the other finalists, Wasabi stood out “like he’s 10 feet tall,” said one of the judges. It just goes to show that when it comes to being top dog, attitude is everything.

Now, let’s sniff out some new opportunities.
