Foreign Service Officers or Ambassadors are selected to represent the government in its relations with other governments. They promote good political ties between their country and others.

Management Analyst / Consultant

Firms providing Management Analysis range in size from a single practitioner to large international organisations employing thousands of consultants. Some Analysts and Consultants specialise in a specific industry, such as health care or telecommunications, while others specialise by type of business function, such as human resources, marketing, logistics, or information systems. In government, Management Analysts tend to specialise by type of agency. Their work varies with each client or employer, and from project to project.

In all cases, Analysts and Consultants collect, review, and analyse information in order to make recommendations to managers.
