Answer 4

Contrarily to what you think, embassies don't hire people only for the foreign language ‎they speak but for their native languages. Let's suppose that the UK wants to open an ‎Embassy in some reclusive country where oil deposits have been recently discovered. ‎The first thing it’ll look for is someone who speaks the language of the country and ‎understands its inhabitants' culture. Naturally this person must be able to speak English ‎fluently so he can prepare reports to his/her superiors. All other embassies will require ‎the same conditions (the French embassy will want someone who speaks French beside ‎his/her native language etc.).‎

However, since the UK and France have a long history in the region so they've already ‎have their own national experts on India. So if you want a job in an embassy, you must ‎search for countries who have recently (let's say five years ago) opened headquarters ‎there. You also should check the payroll by seeking information in the newspapers to make sure that the embassy's staff is paid on a ‎regular basis  (according to newspapers, some Third World countries' ‎ambassadors are not paid on a regular basis).‎

I forgot to mention that all embassies have a media department and they always hire ‎native people to translate articles from newspapers, official declarations etc. so when you ‎are applying for a job in the embassy, you should definitely go for the media department.‎

The last thing I want to say is that the advices you have been given above are mostly ‎correct. But knowing English, Chinese, Arabic, Spanish and Russian will only help you ‎when applying for a job in the United Nations. It will really help you if you were ‎specifically working in the media department. So I strongly recommend that you include ‎the different UN departments in your search for a job. You may also want to apply for a ‎job in the Indian Foreign Ministry ... In this case knowing English and Chinese is ‎important (English because it's largely spoken language and Chinese because China is ‎one of India's biggest rivals economically speaking, it's one of the difficult languages so I ‎don't imagine that there are a lot of people who speak it fluently). And this will be an ‎advantage for you.‎

Good luck

P. S. You don't sound arrogant like one of the answerers said.

Answer 8

For an answer to your question it might help to know why you want to work for an Indian foreign embassy. They will have ordinary embassy staff to help people but they will also have their foreign intelligence officers working there too, gathering information. Which countries are important to India and why?

I agree with much of what Jasmin said. The languages Jasmin suggested would be very useful. What is your country concerned about the most? Security? Economic prosperity and trade? Mixture? Other things? Knowing this will give you a good insight into what language(s) to learn.

By the way, I must mention English. Your English is actually quite poor and you must keep up with your practise as you say. I highly doubt you will ever be hired at an embassy if your English isn't nearly at native speaker level. Quit the silly multiple question marks, capitalisation of entire words, replace the ampersand character (&) with "and," work on your grammar and punctuation and get to know some colloquial. It doesn't particularly matter whether you focus on British or American English, but knowing the differences between the two will be useful. Also work on your style. Don't forget to read a wide range of English texts both classic and contemporary, business, etc. By the way, if you learn Latin, you will become a master of English. It's not necessary, but if you want to stand out from the crowd, there's one way to do it.

Best wishes!
