@@zendykun1938 We understand the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office accept candidates from all sorts of disciplines, but it would certainly help to have a strong interest in current affairs.

It's probably best to ask the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office recruitment for their precise reasons, but from what we know, there are several likely reasons for changing postings every 2 to 4 years: - It offers employees an interesting and fulfilling career (bear in mind that FCDO staff apply for each role based on their preferences, career ambitions, and personal circumstances). - Some countries have more challenging living conditions and higher levels of risk, so people may prefer not to stay long term. - Due to the nature of their job and their high level of responsibility, diplomatic staff are required to be adaptable and resilient and must be able to cope with high levels of disruption, so moving around every few years will help build these key attributes. Hope this helps :) For more information on careers in the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, see www.gov.uk/government/organisations/foreign-commonwealth-development-office/about/recruitment
