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. Here’s the last one we published; it’s meant to live in your inbox. Sign up for the newsletter here.

Due to pandemic levels of stir craziness that even technology can’t solve (gasp!), people are takin’ to the streets to create some seriously impressive sidewalk chalk art.

You remember sidewalks, right? They’re all those cement squares lining the roads we walk on while looking down at our phones.

Well, if these masterpieces don’t inspire you to pop on a mask, pick up some unicorn-shaped chalk and color-code the squares in front of your abode, then … well, then you can choose another hobby. We just want you to be happy.

Speaking of which, take a looksie at the new jobs we’ve got for you this week. Hopefully one of them makes you as happy as this girl livin’ it up with some sidewalk princesses.
