dang.
I wish I could afford, both financially and life-stage ish, to apply. Would love to be part of the team to make the State Department an America First agency!
You want help? I’m retired DoS. If you lack a four year degree it may still be possible, but unlikely. I wrote Trump and never heard a peep from his team... to clear the swamp at Foggy Bottom.
I want to be one of the team to send out all the layoff notices...
I worked with a guy who was a co-pilot flying DC-3s during the Vietnam War - his passport was full of those accordion-like extension pages as he had been all over SE Asia.
Thinking that might come in handy, he got the idea to join the State Dept and went to their office to sign up. He filled out the form and gave it to the guy, who took one look and said "You don't follow directions very well, do you?"
He asked the guy what he meant and the guy says "The directions say to put an 'X' in the box and you put a checkmark." He was told to stuff it as the co-pilot didn't want to work in such a chickenshit outfit.
