U.S. Foreign Service Selection Process

[prepschoolkid]

I have dual citizenship with Japan, if I were to renounce it would my chances of getting a job increase?

[jsamsonite07]

I applied for the 2011 summer internship program for the state department.

A Great Career Field!

Don't apply to work at the State Dept. if you have a high sense of moral intergrity and compassion for your fellow Americans and people from other countries. What they want are people like Madeline Albright who affirmed in an interview that she thought it was "justifiable" for the US embargo of Iran to cause the deaths of over 500,000 women and children so that Israelis can keep their little tax haven in the Middle East. A moral conscience is a hindrance at State

@USStateSponTerrorism

don't you forget that!!!

US Rules!

1,000,000,000,00 is the goal!

Go Israel!!

[USStateSponTerrorism]

@TravisBickle2 Someone needs to manufacture toilet paper with the image of the Israeli flag on each sheet so that the entire world can show how they really feel about Israel -by wiping their aesse(sic) with their flag every day! Hey, how did you like the meeting this week between Pakistan, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan, showing the colossal failure and stupidity of American (Israeli) foreign policies? Trillions of dollars wasted on government contracts with companies owned by Israeli scum!

How bad is the test? I'll be taking it in October. What's the hardest part?

[Charlie1821]

@nebulanow I took the "old" version in 2005 which was hard as hell and it was the various History questions that got me. Never been a good history buff.

[USStateSponTerrorism]

I hear the State Department's budget was reduced considerably for incompetence and many of their functions transferred to the Pentagon.

Thanks a million for posting this wonderful video. I have been going through a major transition. This transition is the biggest & longest transition I evr been through in my life. I was in the military, but got out in early 2007. I'm married & my husband is still in the military, but were both fed up with the military life because of the frequent & lengthy seperations from each other. In fact, he's in Iraq until Feb. 2009. The military is no longer suitable for us. I have thought about working..

[reelguyhere]
