Foreign Service careers are certainly not for everyone. However, careers in the Foreign Service offer special rewards for highly-qualified people. Foreign Service employees enjoy the pride and satisfaction of representing the United States abroad.

Many high-tech engineers and specialists have given up formal suits in favor of casual slacks and dresses. In our own business, our consultants say they stand out because they are attired in traditional business suits, while the people they visit are usually wearing comfortable, casual clothing. I recommend that we establish an optional business dress policy allowing consultants to dress casually, if they wish, in and out of the office while performing assigned duties.
