A CAREER IN THE FOREIGN SERVICE

The Department of State is seeking Foreign Service Security Technical Specialists to serve at U.S. embassies and consulates worldwide.  Candidates must agree not only to serve at any U.S. diplomatic or consular post abroad, but also at domestic locations such as the Department of State in Washington, DC, and the Florida Regional Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The Foreign Service is more than a job – it's a career.  As a member of a diplomatic team, you will not only help to accomplish the mission of the Department of State, but you will also be a representative of your country to the people of other nations.  A career in the Foreign Service involves uncommon commitments and occasional hardships, as well as unique rewards and opportunities.  A decision to enter this career involves exceptional motivation, a firm dedication to public service, and a clear understanding of the high level of travel required.

Many overseas posts are in small or remote countries where harsh climates, health hazards, and other discomforts exist, and where American-style amenities frequently are unavailable. Travel to and from some locations may involve hardships, and oftentimes, personal inconvenience.  However, careers in the Foreign Service offer special rewards, including the pride and satisfaction of representing the United States and protecting U.S. interests abroad.

The Foreign Service strives to maintain diversity in the representation of gender, geographic regions, race, and ethnicity.
