Marie, thanks for sharing this info.

Greetings from Bangladesh.

> I just found out that the State Department gives
> internships to college students during the summer to work
> in US Embassies abroad.  There are some college students
> here in Bangladesh working on a "temporary duty" (TDY).
>
> I asked one of the girls how she got here and she said she
> just went to the State Department web site and applied.
> She said she didn't know anyone in the Foreign Service but
> had always wanted to travel so a friend told her to check
> the State Department website.  She got the application
> from the website, applied and was accepted.
>
> The downside is that students have to pay for themselves
> to get to wherever they are posted but they do get a
> stipend once they get there.  This girl is a university
> sophomore and she is working in the Consular Section at
> the Embassy.
>
> Experience like this can be a great resume builder for any
> student, even if they are not interested in work in the
> Foreign Service.

> Just thought I'll share, for those who have children in
> college that are American citizens.

> God Bless.
