Diplomat

As a diplomat, you represent your country's interests abroad and help manage relationships between nations. Day to day, your work varies widely depending on your posting. You might negotiate agreements, report on political and economic developments, assist citizens who are traveling or living overseas, promote trade, or help shape foreign policy. You attend meetings and events, write detailed reports, and build relationships with officials and communities in other countries. Diplomats often move between assignments around the world, so the job means adapting to new cultures, languages, and challenges while serving your nation's goals.
