On this episode, we are administering the second of two Foreign Service tests (hypothetically) to Laura Bennett. The first part is a written test, kind of like the GRE or GMAT. Those who score high on that are invited to take an oral examination process. You are given hypothetical situations and you answer on your feet, figure it out, do some kind of objectivity integration, oral communication, etc.... Basically give back what the examiners consider a good answer. A passible answer. ⠀ ⠀ Are you ready to take the test? Let's go!⠀ ⠀ Subscribe on iTunes bit.ly/AmericanDiplomat or ♫ @iHeartRadio Podcasts bit.ly/AmDipStories or Google Podcast bit.ly/AmDipGooglePod or @Spotify bit.ly/AmDipSpotify⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #Diplomat #FirstPerson #Authentic #Storytelling #American #Diplomats #USA #Expert #Guests #Conversation #Educational #Entertaining #Context #RealLife #BehindTheScene #BTS #International #Diplomacy #PublicService #UnitedStates #Government #Employment

Pedro Pan and the Guerrillas podcast episode. ⠀ ⠀ We're talking to Phil Chicola, who served 33-years as a Foreign Service Officer all over the globe. Guatemala, El Salvador, Chile, Croatia, Brazil and Vancouver as Consul General.⠀ ⠀ There are two things we want to talk to Phil about. First, Pedro Pan - Peter Pan in Spanish. What was it and why was it important? ⠀ ⠀ Second, the year 1999. Pete sends Phil on a secret mission to talk to the Colombian revolutionary guerrillas (FARC). What happened? ⠀ ⠀ Full disclosure, Phil and Pete have known each other for 40 years. They've been through some tough times together and some fun times too. Were going to talk about both. ⠀ ⠀ Listen on iTunes bit.ly/AmericanDiplomat or ♫ @iHeartRadio Podcasts bit.ly/AmDipStories or Google Podcast http://bit.ly/AmDipGooglePod or @Spotify http://bit.ly/AmDipSpotify
