  1. with your history on this forum ,the only diplomat I would want you to be is the one that never gets a job!

    I don't think it is OK to comment on your English!


  2. i am not a diplomat but i tried to find some links for you; read this first :

    Diplomacy is the art and practice of conducting negotiations between representatives of groups or states. It usually refers to international diplomacy, the conduct of international relations through the intercession of professional diplomats with regard to issues of peace-making, trade, war, economics and culture. International treaties are usually negotiated by diplomats prior to endorsement by national politicians.

    Step One  Make sure that you fulfill the basic requirements. You must be a U.S. citizen between the ages of 20 and 59.

    2Step TwoAvoid drug and alcohol abuse and make sure your finances are in order. A lack of responsibility in either of these areas may jeopardize your eligibility as a foreign service officer down the line.

    3Step ThreeVisit the Department of State website. You can look for it with a search engine like Yahoo! or Google.

    4Step FourRegister for the Foreign Service Written Exam (FSWE), which is offered once a year in cities around the world.

    5Step FiveReview and select from one of five career tracks: Management, Consular, Economic, Political and Public Diplomacy.

    6Step SixTake the written exam. Bring your admission ticket, a black pen, several No. 2 pencils and valid identification such as a photo ID card or a driver's license with photo.

    7Step SevenTake the Foreign Service Oral Assessment. Your eligibility to take it depends on your performance on the written test.

    8Step EightTake a foreign language test, provided you are proficient in a foreign language, to enhance your eligibity.

    9Step NineBe prepared to undergo a background investigation as well as a comprehensive medical examination.

    10Step TenBe willing to serve anywhere in the world, including high-risk areas.

    Tips & Warnings

    Study diligently. On average, only 30% of the people who take the written test are invited back for an oral assessment.

    Consider how a career as a foreign service officer will affect your family. They may have to travel with you and put their own careers and goals on hold, or you may be separated from them for extended periods of time.

    Going to a college or university and obtaining a Bachelor's degree may help you advance in your career and obtain higher salaries.

    You may be assigned to an area under dangerous circumstances, such as political instability or prevalant disease.

    this is basically what i have found , of course you must know that it is political to start with, who you know.........

  3. You need to learn how to spell it first.

  4. You have to have the ability to convincingly promise something you have no authority to deliver or back up.

    That's about it.
