This Week in Jobs by Technical.ly

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.


Close to 112 million Americans are hitting the road, skies and rails this week, according to a travel survey from The Vacationer.

That means snafus, lines and delays are inevitable.

But while your travel may be at a standstill (at least momentarily), your career doesn’t have to be.

Below you’ll find a bevy of new opportunities to excite even the most stressed of seasoned travelers. So take a deep breath, stop refreshing your boarding time and peruse this week’s offerings.

Bring on the bots! Getting young people excited about STEM opportunities could be as simple as bringing the robots to them at events like Pittsburgh Robotics Networks’ Discovery Day.

The only guarantee regarding company culture is that things will change. As a founder, one of the best things you can do is step out of the way, advises longtime executive Seema Alexander.
