Some General Advice Here:

  • Talk with your academic adviser or career adviser
  • They will probably have information about student programs, such as Pickering/ Rangel, or they might be able to get you in touch with an Alum

  • Get in touch with the Diplomat-in-Residence (DIR) in your area
  • The DIR is always a great resource for an FS-related Qs, but they can also give really great insight on the career. See if they will plan a visit to your university

  • Maintain relationships with faculty and directors
  • Works wonders when you can get a letter of recommendation later on from a supervisor/ faculty that can strongly advocate for you

  • Apply for a U.S. Department of State internship
  • The deadlines for the summer are released very early (i.e. OCT/NOV 2016 for Summer 2017), but this is the best way to get experience and make connections for a future career in the FS

  • Pick up a language (ESP a Critical Language)
