http://burkettblogs.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 31, 2010. The waiting process for the foreign service is somewhat like a scary movie. The music is playing louder and louder, you grip the armrests so hard your fingers are turning white, as you wait.wait.wait for the next step.

http://wannabefso.blogspot.com/2011/07/oa-scores.html
So You Want To Be A Foreign Service Officer. Friday, July 15, 2011. My FOIA request for my OA scores showed up today, and boy was I surprised.

I really thought I did well on the GE, OK on the SI, and I knew that I didn't pass the CM, but didn't know if I blew it. While I didn't pass the CM, the hypotheticals did me in. I actually thought I did OK on them so need to go back to the drawing board. After not passi...
