4 Applying for the graduate fast stream for a career in the diplomatic service
4 Getting work experience in administration or local government
4 Studying as many languages as possible
Think Languages:“We are increasing the number of jobs overseas for which language skills will be a requirement (priority languages are Mandarin, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese and French) so languages, especially those that assist the FCO in critical areas of the world are a real asset.”- Foreign and Commonwealth Office
