That varies from being responsible for maes care of the American citizens and ma,es needs to the issuance of visas, to the discussions about political and economic and trade and commerce issues. One of the things I like about my job is that every week is going to be different. I have about 80 or 90 people, local employees and Americans who work for me at the embassy, and each week we have internal meetings to discuss their roles and duties. I usually have a number of meetings of people from outside the embassy as well, either local folks who have an interest in something economic, political, commercial, or maybe other diplomats or international organization types. There are really two ways to get into. For that, you begin by taking a written test that is offered several times a year at a variety of places in the United States and also at embassies all over the world.
