Looking for the new Christina Stephens: Wael Al Mazeedi (QGEN) searches for his new Executive Assistant

[Note: Prospective candidates should not worry about the bachelor degree preference mentioned below.  As far as we know Christina Stephens only had a high school diploma.]

As we all know from posts elsewhere in this blog, Wael Al Mazeedi and his "latest and greatest" scheme, QGEN, is responsible for saving the world from "planetary collapse" (or something to that effect).

Wael needs to find di$$$ciples that share his dream.  He's offering pretty good money ($90K to $95K), especially when considering the current job market, for a job that sounds like a glorified secretary.  There are some other nice perks, like travel to sunny Spain.  Looks like QGEN sent Wael's admin assistant to a solar conference in Seville (last year? this year?) CSP Yield Optimisation Conference Europe, 31st May - 1st June, Seville, Spain


Here's the linke to the post in Craigslist.  It also appears in LinkedIn as well as the MIT Energy Club.

Executive Assistant QGEN

Candidates should not be afraid to ask what happened to the previous Executive/Administrative assistant(s).

Also, Wael fails to mention this, but you will probably have to make tea for him every day.

Oh, by the way, don't forget to ask him why he's been involved in so many lawsuits in the past several years.
