This Week in Jobs: Chaotic times, open jobs

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.

TikTok and ya don’t stop

Remember when “insanity” was just the name of an impossible workout program that you’d never actually witnessed anyone finish?

Well, did you know you can now get the same quality of perpetual stress for free, without ever getting off your couch? It’s called quarantine. And it, too, feels insane.

Here’s how it works. Instead of getting six pack abs, you’ll tackle intense *mental challenges like avoiding the fridge, hiding from your kids and resisting the urge to post TikTok videos that will forever dampen your credibility as a professional — and a dancer.

*Now, we understand the importance of this quarantine as well as the mental health challenges it can pose. We don’t take it lightly. But we also can’t ignore the surge of really embarrassing TikTok videos filling up our social feeds. People need to understand the repercussions of their social media choices during this difficult time. They must be held accountable.

The News
