International Opportunities (career series)
Question:
I was one of the members of Sigma Beta Rho who you talked to this past weekend. I found your speech to be very helpful and interesting, I was interested in particular about how you were able to get so much international experience? Also,I am studying for the Foreign Services Officer Exam this coming February and was wondering if you knew anyone at the State Department who had actually taken this exam or if you yourself knew anything about the exam.
Answer:
Great to hear from you. How did I get some much experience? As I said during the talk, it has nothing to do with intelligence - just hustle. I aggressively contacted hundreds (and hundreds) and organizations and companies that were doing innovative, world-changing stuff. I sent a crisp email stating why I was good for them - not the other way around. The process is a little time consuming, but worth it! I don't know a lot about the exam, but just google it :). I'm always here if you have questions as you move forward. Feel totally free to give me a call at 610.999.5430.
