FOREIGN SERVICE OFFICER
“We come from all kinds of backgrounds and when we go out to the State Department, we show all those backgrounds to the world. I am America for the people who walk into the door.”
Foreign Service Specialist
“From U.S. Marine to Facility Manager in the Foreign Service. I wanted to do something a little bit more exciting. I worked in public service all my life, and I wanted to return to that, so coming to the Department was a great fit for me. It’s not a career, I call it a way of Life. The Foreign Service is a way of Life.
Civil Service Professionals
“What makes it so nice is that at the end of the day, there’s a culture here where people honestly care about what they do… they’re here to not only advance the mission for foreign policy, but they really enjoy working with the people.”
