text: go to the Depatment of State website and do research of the Foreign Service Exam. You have to pass that before you get into the State Dept. And I don't mean to discourage you, but it's very hard, and even if you pass, you still have several layers of interviews. And if the interviewers don't like you... sorry.. you're out of luck.  Oh, and you need to learn some a foreign language that will give you a strategic advantage over other clients. Arabic, Russian, Persian, an Eastern European... Spanish and French won't cut it since there will be many candidates that can speak those languages fluently.\n\nPut the link below in your browser bar, and the next exam isn't until April 2007
