I am interested in pursuing a job as a Foreign Service Officer with the US embassy. I am wondering what the success rate is with applicants? I know I have nothing to lose by trying, but am aware the employment process is a long one. Another concern I have is that I had a previous credit problem but settled it. I am wondering if this showed up in a background check, if this alone would prevent me from getting hired?
I would be interested in hearing from a Foreign service officer (or previous ones) regarding their experience on the job as well as their experience taking the test.
Thanks. I look forward to hearing from you!
(PS. I also posted this under careers and employment. I thought by posting here I would get a more specific audience. Perhaps there would be more Foreign Service Officers or more people involved directly with the US embassy)
