Question

To work in an embassy in French-speaking Africa, what qualifications/qualities would one need to possess?

Answer 1

For what type of job?  Embassies are like small cities/big businesses - they require groundskeepers, admin assistants, translators, drivers, security, etc.  French language capability, of course, plus any local dialects would be helpful, plus English, and any other professional qualifications necessary for the position you are seeking - language is important, but the other qualifications will determine your selection for a particular job.
