The Department of State has made substantial changes in testing and evaluating candidates for positions as Foreign Service Officers.

However, candidates get only one chance to apply during a 12-month period, and registration requires considerable thought and time. Winter Break is an ideal time to get started. Want to increase your chances of getting it right on the first try? Anne O'Leary, the Diplomat in Residence for the Pacific Northwest based at US Berkeley, is ready to help you.
