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” — here at Technical.ly HQ). Below is this week’s edition. Here’s the last one we published on the site; it’s meant to live in your inbox.

Thanks for pranks

Odds are that if you work in tech, dear Grammy and Pop Pop have a fairly minimal understanding of what you actually do. So this Thanksgiving, why not have fun with it?

At dinner, whisper into your Apple Watch every thirty minutes and tell them you’re just making sure the robots aren’t angry that you’re gone. While waiting for pie, pull up some code on your GitHub account, shake your head and groan things like, “Uh oh. Oh man, this is bad. If anyone asks, I was never here.”

Really have fun with it. Get creative! It could make for a great story during your next interview. Speaking of which, get your job hunt on with this week’s latest openings!

The news

In an effort to dive into Philly’s pool of top-notch talent, cloud-based marketing platform Listrak is opening a new hub in Wayne. The company — which serves some seriously swanky brands like Oscar de la Renta and Goop — employs a staff of 300 between its HQ in Lititz, Pa. and Newport Beach, Ca. Did you catch that? Gwyneth Paltrow has given this company her business. That’s basically the ecommerce equivalent of being kissed on the forehead by the pope. Listrak plans to hire 25 more to work out of the new Wayne location. Check out the jobs here.

Guess who thinks the current job hunting process sucks? Everyone. In response to the sad, helpless feeling one gets when tossing that painstakingly crafted résumé into a digital black hole, Technical.ly has whipped up a new career navigation approach, our “Technical.ly Match beta.” It’s a double opt-in placement service — both employers and job hunters must be game for matchmaking — with nary a recruiter in sight. Opt-in and have an actual, real life person match you with a job or candidate that checks all the right boxes. Jobseekers, sign up here and employers, head this way.
