O.K. I will tell you exactly what I do. Presently, I head the U.S. Trade Office in St. Petersburg, Russia. My job is to promote U.S. exports to Russia. I oversee a small staff of Russian nationals who conduct market research, recruit buyer delegations to the U.S., conduct matchmaking and due diligence services for U.S. companies - all for a fee. I also organize executive-led trade missions from the U.S., the last being an automotive trade mission focused on the automotive supply chain. On any given day, I will meet with business people from the U.S., Europe and Russia, conduct market briefings for U.S. business executives and/or the Ambassador or senior U.S. Government officials. As St. Petersburg is where many foreign automotive OEMs have invested in production for the a rusian market, I would say a good 30% of my time is focused on the automotive sector, with mining and mining equipment, electronics and machine tools coming in close second.
Most of my clients are small-to-mid size U.S. firms, often run by their founders or family-owned. By snd large I am viewed, both in Russia and the I.S. as an expert on thevRussian business environment. I speak fluent Russian, and have served on snd off over 10 years in Russia or the former USSR.
My colleagues in the ConsukR section issue visas and assist U.S. citizens, including incarcerated Americans or, in the case of child subduction, checking on child welfare. Political and economic officers report on host country policies, while management officers keep the U.S. mission working, handling everything from HR to facilities management. USAID officers oversee the U.S. assistance programs, but we no longer have these in Russia, while FAS officers promote U.S. agricultural exports.
In my career, I have served Russia, Ukraine, Ethiopia, Kenya and Korea. My DW and DD have accompanied me. This has made DD a "third culture kid." She has attended international schools abroad, which I think should make her and interesting candidate when applying to universities in the U.S
As an FSO, you agree to worldwide availability, meaning you will serve to meet the "needs of the service." This makes two career couples difficult, and means trying to plan in 3-4 year increments when considering DD's education. However, "needs of the servic" trumps all. As I was told once, we hired you, not your family. This has made it rough. But the rewards in my opinion far outweigh the negatives. I would not change my career. It's what I always wanted to do

If you’re passionate about public service and want to represent the U.S. around the world, a challenging and rewarding career is waiting for you. The opportunity to work and experience cultures, customs and people of different nations is truly a career unlike any other.
The work you’ll do will have an impact on the world. You will be asked to serve at one of any of the more than 265 embassies, consulates and other diplomatic missions in The Americas, Africa, Europe and Eurasia, East Asia and Pacific, Middle East and North Africa, and South Asia. Some of these posts are in difficult and even dangerous environments, but working in them affords great challenges and rewards.
Explore a career in the Foreign Service and start your journey with the Department today. Start by looking at where we work, or taking the quiz to find out if the Foreign Service is right for you, or what career track is the best fit.
I wasnt looking for a sales pitch, I was looking for a reply from a human being.
Heh, heh, as some one who lived overseas, that is the exactly how I would expect a FSO to respond.
