The first week after daylight savings time starts is always mayhem (cue Lady Gaga’s new album) — but it’s also a reminder that spring is here at last, and the days are officially longer.

So what are you going to do with the extra daylight? 

TWIJ may be all about the jobs, but we don’t want you to spend it all on the job hunt. Be sure to get out and get some fresh air while the sun’s out. But not before you check out this week’s list of jobs, plus the news of the week.
