What are your Career Interests?
Administrative
Administrative people are interested in work that offers security and a sense of being part of a larger process. They may be at their best operating under supervisors who give clear guidelines, and performing routine tasks in a methodical and reliable way.
They tend to enjoy clerical and most forms of office work, where they perform essential administrative duties. They often form the backbone of large and small organisations alike. They may enjoy being in charge of office filing systems, and using computers and other office equipment to keep things running smoothly. They usually like routine work hours and prefer comfortable indoor workplaces.

In the Department of Foreign Affairs there is a respect for learning and culture which is wonderful. Training is supported and encouraged. There is a wealth of interesting and knowledgeable individuals who are widely travelled and are willing to share their experiences and advice.
On occasion it is possible to meet high profile politicians or dignitaries who you admire, listen to their speeches live and attend major political events. The opportunity to live abroad and represent Ireland in a variety of different countries is exciting and I am sure will prove to be rewarding and challenging.
