You have until Wednesday, September 26 to register for the upcoming Foreign Service Exam. If you’ve forgotten or been sitting on the fence, you really should sit down at a computer and complete the registration process. You’ve really got nothing to lose. It’s free, failing is not held against you and it gives you a shot at the most exciting career in the U.S. Government. Yes, it’s a long slog, but in my opinion one well worth doing, even if you serve for only a few years. I’ve had many colleagues who left after two or three years, and have gone on to careers and jobs that satisfied them more. Face it, serving overseas as a Foreign Service Officer looks great on your CV.
Okay, I’m off the soapbox and leave it up to you. Ask my 17-year-old son, he’ll tell you I’m a crappy parent and my advice is worthless… Ah, raising a teenager is so much fun.
I am really impressed with your writing skills as well as with the layout on your blog.
Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself?
Either way keep up the excellent quality writing, it is rare
to see a great blog like this one these days.
Thanks Cheri. I’m secretly a frustrated novelist! I did pay for the theme. It’s the Profits Theme by a team in Indonesia.
I confess to wanting to change it, but have been a bit daunted by the task. Stay tuned.
Hi, I do believe your web site could possibly be having
web browser compatibility issues. Whenever I take a look
at your site in Safari, it looks fine however, if opening in Internet Explorer, it’s got some
overlapping issues. I merely wanted to give you a quick heads up!
Aside from that, great blog!
Larae–
Thanks. On the compatibility issue, I just changed themes and am trying to catch up with all the changes. I’ll be using more photos, inviting people to join my newsletter list and will do webinars/conference calls with interested folks…
Cheers, Bill
Please do come back and check the website. I’m making some good, if overdue, changes. Thanks for your comment.
Best, Bill
