After being fired through no fault of their own, our dedicated Foreign Service Officers shouldn’t have to take the FSOT again to return to public service.

Rubio is replacing experienced FSOs with inexperienced conservatives. Standard FSOT testing now focuses on outdated conservative rhetoric and obscure ideologically conservative outliers.
On Tuesday, May 5, the State Department separated more than 200 Foreign Service members under the reduction in force first announced last July, even as it continues to recruit and onboard new officers.

And here I thought living abroad, getting undergrad and graduate degrees in IR, crushing the FSOT, and being curious about the rest of the world would help me enter the DC foreign policy sphere. Turns out I just needed to come from a well-off family and network at the right East Coast university.

If I understand this right, this isn't just actual employees but anyone who's even applied for federal jobs. (I took the FSOT eons ago and moved through that process -- am in here?)

I spent years trying to get a job at State. Did lots of research, read the prep materials, crushed the FSOT. Didn't get a callback. I was bummed, but seeing this and reports from a friend at State, I likely dodged a bullet. Would I try again? Maybe, but who's to say any improvements will stick?
One woman who called the State Department helpline looking for help said they told her to "stop ranting and raving" and hung up on her.
Another woman said they asked her how to spell Oman.
