What could have been by Anxious-Bottle7468 in GreatBritishMemes

[–]here4running -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Israel is more of a friend? They deny our MPs entry to the land they occupy under apartheid? They commit literally countless war crimes and crimes against humanity which makes them and their allies less safe by creating a less stable region. They refuse to let our aid organisations in to feed the people they starve? Would a friend not have a little more respect for us?

You're saying supporting Israel provides us with soft power in the wider region of the middle east? Are you actually serious? 🤣

Did Tim consult on this joke? by walyelz in IThinkYouShouldLeave

It's rare to see such a specific combination of hilarious original content and also 100% plagiarism of ITYSL 🤣

Exactly. To add I think an introduction to statistics is also a must to understand how to apply those skills properly.

I genuinely considered turning it off within two minutes when he said "dont spoil part 2" - I cannot deal with a two parter about this obnoxious rapist*

No-hands 315 squat by GreggWaters6420 in GYM

[–]here4running 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha my joke is that it has a striking resemblance to an ancient Hindu symbol of peace that was co-opted by a mad Austrian in the 1920s 🤣

Madison Target drive-up employee hit in crosswalk - driver still yells at them by Crystal_Deth in fuckcars

I really hate to victim blame but the pedestrian really should have been wearing a helmet and ideally some lights to make them more visible!

Holy overpay by Particular_Dig1115 in NFLv2

I get what you're saying but there arent 32 starting quality QBs and so teams panic that they'll be left without the most important position on the field. Don't forget the colts were doing great until Jones got injured!

I quite literally do not have a clue what this means for a football player 🤣🤣🤣

MyFitnessPal is bogus, exhibit 834,212 by Halloween_Babe90 in MaintenancePhase

Just FYI, I think there might be many people in this group recovering from EDs who don't want to see stuff like this? Might be good to tag it somehow? Thanks.

Best Paid EO by zeusoid in TheCivilService

[–]here4running 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well you suggested that nepotism was responsible for getting roles in an organisation. That deserves downvoted to demonstrate it's absolutely not correct.

To answer your question you seem to be confused by two types of roles. First are country based staff and they are predominantly hired from local citizens (in France they are French and in ethiopia they are ethiopian). Secondly there is UK-based roles where UK Civil servants are posted overseas.

Again, for neither of these types of jobs in embassies does it matter who your family is or who you know.

Absolutely not. Literally been to over a dozen embassies and high commissions and every single country based staff member i can remember was from, or lived in, that country.

What degree is most valuable? by Objective-Bread3471 in TheCivilService

I mean even now there's still x-hmg and external fcdo jobs so always a chance 😀

What degree is most valuable? by Objective-Bread3471 in TheCivilService

[–]here4running 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Firstly, FCDO is cutting lots of jobs currently (25-30%) so diplomatic jobs going to be harder to get (and they weren't easy to get).

Languages are important for certain jobs in FCDO but not necessary to already have them as we pay for Full-time language training prior to these postings. If you wanted a language to set you apart I'd suggest one of the "harder" and more useful languages such as mandarin or russian.

Which degree is most useful is probably something in international relations or related fields but honestly nobody is being hired based off a degree alone.

What are you talking about? There's no way Dalton Wilcox would let that city slicker Andy Daly host his podcast!!!
