It's finally August and I am feeling inspired by all the informative and interesting Foreign Service blogs out there that I am just beginning to discover (thank you Melissa at V is for Vonhinken). I am hoping that this week will bring news of an invitation and closure to the uncertainty that has been haunting our lives for the past year and a half. I am getting tired of the IFs and the PERHAPs and the MAYBEs. I am getting tired of being unemployed and halfheartedly browsing job postings.
My husband and I have been dreaming of the Foreign Service for years. Although we tossed around the idea of applying in 2006, we officially started our journey in February 2009. He applied for the written test and I sent in my application for the Foreign Service Specialist Information Resource Officer position. It's now nearly a year and a half later with Oral Assessments long passed, security clearances granted, and no news.
Welcome Magia! I know exactly what that long wait feels like - my candidacy lasted for over two years! Hang in there, you never know when it will just happen. :-)
