  1. Generally speaking embassies have two kinds of staff.  Diplomatic staff that are hired in country A but are posted to country B (where the embassy is located), and local staff who are hired in country B (but not always country B nationals).

    Now if you want a job as diplomatic staff, you obviously have to first go to country A and join their foreign ministry.  If you are in country B already and you want to get a job there, here are the kinds of jobs which are available.

    First of all, two broad divisions: policy staff and administrative staff.

    Policy staff generally involve economic researchers and political researchers.

    Administrative staff include accounting staff, drivers, people who oversight property and furnitures, consular staff, staff who organise travel, buy tickets, book hotels etc...

    I guess you can also include personal assistants under administrative staff as well.

    Depending on the size of the embassy, it will have various attached agencies as well that might also hire local staff.

    Examples:  immigration section which hires visa officers, also a public diplomacy section (where, for instance, the person dealing with media works), support staff for the defence attache, research officer for agriculture, etc...

    These are just some general examples.  Of course, each embassy will have variations.

    Hope this helped.  Good luck if you want a job at an embassy.
