Things may not be so hot for blood-testing startup Theranos right now, but there are still career opportunities available.
The company has just posted a job opening — one of nearly 200 — for an "executive assistant" position to CEO Elizabeth Holmes. (Spotted by Fortune's Dan Primack.) You would basically be her body man (or woman).
This sounds like the most challenging part of the job: "Promote corporate image by professionally representing the CEO and Theranos internally & externally."
For those interested in becoming Holmes's assistant, you should know that the Wall Street Journal published another brutal story about the company last night. Theranos reportedly voided two years' worth of blood test results, which "means some patients received erroneous results that might have thrown off health decisions made with their doctors."

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
