Career Navigator
Because choosing a career means choosing how you spend your life, this interactive guide will help you determine which career opportunity is right for you.
Answers are neither right nor wrong. However, it is important to answer each question truthfully. After all, this is your career choice and you want it to be the best one for you.
Career Navigator can help you determine whether the Foreign Service, Civil Service or any of our Student Programs is the best match for your interests and goals. If you choose the Foreign Service route, you can explore, compare and contrast specific Foreign Service Officer career tracks. If you find yourself in the Foreign Service Specialist area, you can figure out Which Specialization is Right for You. Or, if Student Programs is your best fit, you can discover which of the eight Student Programs meet your specific needs.
