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). Below is this week’s edition; it’s meant to live in your inbox. Sign up for the newsletter here.
The holiday season is officially here. Fun fact: the very first text message, sent on December 3, 1992, was “Merry Christmas.”
UK Software engineer Neil Papworth sent the holiday greeting from a computer to a colleague’s mobile Orbitel 901 handset. Little did he know he was helping to launch a new era of digital communication that continues to evolve with smartphones and AI.
As we head into December, it’s a good time to think about how communication tech continues to change the way we hunt for jobs. DMs, virtual interviews and (yes) digital newsletters are just a few of the tech-based tools that enable the modern job search.
If the first text could spark a whole new way of staying connected, imagine what one message (or one job application) can do for your career.
