Ever dig into a spinach salad and get that chalky feeling on your teeth afterward?
You’re not alone. Spinach mouth is a very real thing. This chemical reaction occurs when you chew the leafy green, releasing high amounts of oxalic acid, causing that chalky, sometimes unpleasant, sensation on your teeth.
But there’s no need to fret — oxalic acid is safe to ingest and doesn’t cause harm.
That said, it’s annoying. Not unlike the job search.
So sit back and let us prepare a healthy mix of opportunities below.

How does Vanguard welcome new hires? Natalie McManus, senior manager of workforce strategy and enablement, said, “From their first day at Vanguard, new crew are immersed in our culture. They are oriented to our mission and purpose and our client-first mindset; they are invited to join one of our crew resource groups as an ally or member of each community; and they can volunteer or donate to a charity of their choice or our signature Strong Start for Kids Program, which enables high quality early childhood education. They also have numerous opportunities to invest in their personal development, including our annual enterprise-wide technology conference.
“In our IT division, we integrate new application engineers through a robust, year-long technical onboarding program. The program’s goal is to accelerate productivity for our new application engineers and enable them to do their best work from day one. It also helps them build a solid foundation of Vanguard’s technologies, ways of working, and culture.
