This Week in Jobs: The mother of all career roundups with 26 tech opportunities
Often considered a commercial 'Hallmark holiday,' Mother's Day was not, in fact, invented by the greeting card company, or the floral industry that does about a quarter of its business for the year on the day. It was first started in the US by a woman named Julia Ward Howe, whose precursor to modern Mother's Day, 'Mothers' Peace Day,' was created in the 1870s as an anti-war holiday.
In 1908, a woman's activist named Anna Jarvis held the first organized Mother's Day celebration in honor of her own late mother, also an activist, in Philadelphia in 1908. It became a national holiday in 1914.
Jarvis was far from a greedy company profiting from Mother's Day — in fact, by 1922, she was boycotting floral companies for raising the price of carnations in May.
Then, on Mother's Day 1925, Jarvis crashed a convention of the American War Mothers, protesting what she saw as exploitation of the holiday to make money.
Needless to say, Jarvis lost the war against commercializing the holiday. Whether it's a holiday you observe or not, it's a good day to remember that not everything is as it seems.

This Week in Jobs: Upgrade your career with these 24 open tech roles
Are you a 4o or a 5? Ever since ChatGPT dropped version 5 last week, a debate has raged: Did OpenAI destroy its popular chatbot with the upgrade, or was it a vast improvement? Five is less sycophantic. It acts less like your supreme bestie and more like, well, a tool. People who use it primarily as a tool have either reported little to no difference on r/ChatGPT, or they like the new version. People who use ChatGPT as more of a companion or colleague — and apparently there are more of them out there than OpenAI realized — expressed a sense of loss at the change, which couldn't be undone with prompts. The cheerleader 'personality' that was often mocked before the upgrade was instantly missed by a large and vocal set of users. Within a day, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced that 4o would be made available for plus users as a 'legacy model.' So, yes, if you love 4o, you have to pay to use it again, but keep in mind that no AI platform is free. If it's free, you are the product. Which model is best for helping with your job search? Five will give you no nonsense advice, walk you through a mock job interview and clean up your cover letters. If you need encouragement (or straight up glazing) to keep you motivated, 4o will relentlessly pump you up. The News Dozens of leaders from throughout the region convened in Wilmington Delaware for the 8th annual MILLSUMMIT, now rebranded as the Spur Impact Summit. We left with seven pieces of advice.

This Week in Jobs: Pound the (internet) pavement and check out these 25 tech career opportunities
There's no question the internet has massively changed the way we search for jobs. Back in the 1970s, a typical job search meant scouring classified ads in the newspaper and putting on your best business attire to hand out individually typed resumes in person. This was how it was 51 years ago today on July 29, 1974, just days before the resignation of President Nixon. Little did anyone know that this thing called the internet was quietly brewing. It was on that day that two researchers laid the groundwork for the internet with a paper introducing TCP/IP: the Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol. These two systems work together to move data between computers. Without it, there would be no internet as we know it, and you would still be hitting the pavement and awkwardly asking receptionists face to face if they had any available positions. The internet started simple, by breaking it down into steps, and making sure nothing gets lost along the way. The same rules apply to job hunting. The News Use this interactive map to see where Pennsylvania's $90B in AI and energy money is going — and what doesn't add up. As the debate over artificial intelligence regulation intensifies, the divide over how and whether to rein in the technology is becoming increasingly stark. A company's price during an exit can differ from its valuation during financing, legal experts at Ballard Spahr explain. CEO Chris Wink: We were wrong before about AI killing jobs. Here's the proof. Here's how tech leaders in Delaware are using AI to bring racial equity to education, jobs and tech access. In Q2, Pittsburgh's $600M in VC, mainly driven by AI investments, defied nationwide trends of a capital slowdown. Partner Spotlight Crossbeam is the first and largest Ecosystem-Led Growth platform. The remote-first company acts as an escrow service for data, allowing companies to find overlapping customers and prospects with their partners while keeping the rest of their data private and secure. Companies use this data to sell more effectively, market to the right audiences, build the right products, collaborate with their service partners, generate demand, inform M&A, and more. This has created an entirely new way of doing business called 'Ecosystem-Led Growth' or ELG — and it works: 40% of Crossbeam's customers' closed deals come from their ecosystem.

NetApp has an open listing for a Senior Solutions Engineer – Enterprise Sales. Phenom in Ambler is hiring a hybrid Solution Architect. Slalom is looking for a Cyber Resilience Specialist.

This Week in Jobs: Shoot for the moon with these 20 tech career opportunities
Let's go back to this day in history, 1962. It was July 22 — John F. Kennedy was president, 'Roses are Red (My Love)' by Bobby Vinton was the #1 song, and NASA launched Mariner 1, the first spacecraft intended to fly by Venus. Mariner 1 was a failure. Due to a tiny coding error, it veered off course and had to be destroyed mid-air. NASA got right back on the metaphorical horse. The failure of Mariner 1 paved the way for Mariner 2, which successfully made it to Venus just a few weeks later. The truth is, big goals often lead to big flops. But each attempt moves you closer to success. Whether you're aiming for a whole new career or a step up, this is your reminder to stay on course and keep launching.
