Career Diplomacy is an insider's guide to the Foreign Service as an institution, a profession, and a career.

They lay out what to expect in a Foreign Service career, from the entrance exam through midcareer and into the senior service-how to get in, get around, and get ahead.New in the third edition: * A discussion of the relationship of the Foreign Service and the Department of State to other agencies, and to the combatant commands * An expanded analysis of hiring procedures* Commentary on challenging management issues in the Department of State, including the proliferation of political appointments in high-level positions and the difficulties of running an agency with employees in two personnel systems (Civil Service and Foreign Service) * A fresh examination of the changing nature and demographics of the Foreign Service
