DOS Careers

US Dept of State

About this app

This official U.S. Department of State app is designed for those interested in a Foreign Service career. You can learn more about the opportunities and experiences of those who have chosen this career, as well as take practice tests to help you prepare for the Foreign Service Officer test, find a recruitment event, or contact a Diplomat in Residence near you. U.S. citizenship is required for all Foreign Service careers.

Ratings and reviews

This app does NOT show you career fairs in your area (it seemingly hasn't updated that since November) and it is pitifully designed. It looks like a Windows Mobile app from 2008. The government should start putting money into actually having decent online and phone-based connectivity, lest they fall behind in getting to the next generation. Avoid until it's improved.

Useless. The ratings are a lie! The entire app is just hyperlinks to the website. There's no application area, no open job postings, no anything you can actually do but be redirected to the website.

You won't find jobs here, just general info about how DoS is structured. The test is kind of nice. But any job you want - you have to apply at the epic sh*tshow that is USAJobs. I've been on both sides of the federal hiring process, and can tell you firsthand that USAJobs sucks for all involved, and that's where this DoS app will point you. Best of luck!
