Of all the reasons to learn a language, moving abroad to study or work, cultural aspects, and careers involving languages are the most sought-after motivators.
Today, foreign languages in India are in high demand due to domestic and international job scenarios.
Among various career paths, one such option is employment opportunities in embassies, consulates, and diplomatic offices in India and overseas.

Embassies Of India and Foreign Countries
An embassy is a diplomatic building that represents a country in another country.
No nation exists without an embassy in another territory or embassies of other countries within its region.
For embassies to function effectively, they require the services of an ambassador and people for the vital post representing the country concerned.
Together with an entourage of staff, assist the embassy in working appropriately on behalf of their parent nation.
All this creates many job opportunities for language learners to operate and help perform foreign policy tasks and diplomatic relations with the host nation.
Types Of Foreign Language Jobs Available In Embassies
Most foreign embassies send their citizens to occupy top positions in their operations in another country. In other areas, they need the services of employees from the host nation.
Foreign language jobs in embassies are usually high-paying. The prestige of working for a foreign embassy or your country is always something to cherish.
In general, qualifications and skills other than language are also demanded.
You can do multiple jobs at the embassy using your skills in a foreign language.
You can also work as a receptionist, customer support, office executive, IT technical staff, translator, administrative job, interpreter, dealing with passports and visas, press office job, research analyst, messengers and logistics, and low-paying wage positions.
How do you get a job at a foreign embassy in India?
The language jobs in the embassy are very fruitful job profiles.
Almost all embassies worldwide hire local staff from the host country to assist with a wide array of jobs. Each embassy is different, though its rules are somewhat similar.
As in any other job, the essential requirement is a college bachelor’s degree and experience in the related field.
The eligibility criteria depend upon the nature of the work and responsibilities.
However, requirements vary from a Master’s in International relations to IT professionals.
In nearly all cases, the aspirants must have superior communication skills and be fluent in the host country’s local or official languages for office jobs.
Since the number of new openings is limited, knowing the latest opportunities and applying promptly is essential. You can always check the official websites of the respective embassies and consulates.
Besides, you can call the embassy’s human resources office, regularly check job portals, browse through newspapers, and develop contacts who can refer you for a job in an embassy.
The jobs are for both permanent and temporary positions.
The trick is to get an entry-level job, even on a contractual or temporary basis. It is always easier than well-paid jobs.
While doing such work, you will learn the tricks required to advance your career and develop contacts and friends in the system.
All this information and connections will help you to climb the ladder for more lucrative jobs in embassies.
There are different kinds of language jobs in the embassy, and these areas include:
1. Translators & Interpreters
These are some of the job opportunities most foreign embassies offer job seekers from the host country.
For instance, the French or Netherlands embassies in India will seek one or more translators and interpreters who can speak French or Dutch alongside the regional language.
2. Human Resource
Some embassies may have their HR Departments occupied by professionals. This is another area often open to job seekers from the host country.
Again, this is where your expertise in that country’s foreign language can land you a lucrative job in an executive or managerial role.
3. Economic Department
It is another specialization area that is always in demand by foreign embassies.
Although your language ability may not be entirely adequate to earn you the job, it is still a must-have for job seekers with economic experience seeking to occupy such a position.
You will be responsible for reporting economic development in the host country and providing sound analysis and advice on financial issues.
4. Finance Section
Again, you will need an added qualification in finance, such as an MBA in economics. With your foreign language skills, you can get a job offer in a foreign embassy’s finance section.
For instance, the US embassy in India or elsewhere will require a counselor or specialist on financial matters.
It is to furnish reports on financial markets, macro and micro (economics), research, and policymaking.
The counselor will also respond to inquiries about their nation’s financial situation and the economy.
5. Library Section
All embassies or affiliated culture centers in the world have a library section.
It creates the need for a librarian and other staff responsible for maintaining books and other essential materials in the library.
Your foreign language ability can help update the library and make translations where possible.
6. Diplomatic Coordinator
Most embassies in India periodically look for people who understand the workings and situations of national and international current affairs while possessing excellent communication skills.
It is another surpassing job area for job seekers with foreign language skills.
7. Research analyst and Market Researcher
All the embassies, consulates, and other diplomatic representations are presenting their Government.
They do extensive research for various reasons, such as bilateral relations, the scope of business expansion, and enhancing the host nation’s cultural footprint.
They employ local research analysts or field researchers for all these research activities. A college degree, preferably an MBA, and strong analytical and communication skills are prerequisites.
Some research analyst jobs require good knowledge of a particular foreign language.
It will help those conducting the research when information that may not be available in English or the local language and translation is needed.
Additionally, a local citizen will understand their country better than a foreign citizen.
8. Information Technology/Science
IT personnel are in high demand in every embassy to enhance efficiency in areas ranging from web development to system maintenance.
If you think knowledge of computers alone will guarantee automatic employment in the foreign embassy’s IT department concerned, you are mistaken.
A certificate backed by proficiency in a foreign language is a surefire way to obtain considerable employment with various embassies in India.
The ability to speak a foreign language as a secondary qualification puts you ahead of others for such jobs.
9. Trainer in an embassy’s culture center
At least 13 culture centers affiliated with different embassies in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Pune, Chennai, and other parts of India offer various foreign language courses in embassies.
My rough calculation shows roughly 300 foreign language instructors work in India’s cultural wings and language learning centers.
While some of them are native speakers, a majority of them are Indians.
At least half of them work with L’Alliance Française (a cultural wing of the Embassy of France) and Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan (affiliated with the embassy of Germany).
There are more job opportunities in French and German than, say, Portuguese or Japanese as far as teaching jobs in embassies are concerned.
There’s just one caveat.
The minimum eligibility criteria for such an opening are a master’s degree or the highest proficiency level, such as C2 (CEFR – European languages).
If you’re studying one of the East Asia languages, you should aim for TOPIK Level 6 / JLPT N1 / HSK Level 6.
Once selected, they will offer Initial teacher training through various routes. Based on my personal interaction, the salary is quite good.
10. Customer support
Every embassy hires people to provide customer support for many processes involving different roles.
Some well-known examples include document tasks, collecting and processing information, voice-based jobs, accounting services, the back office, document translation, proofreading, and transactions.
The helpdesks also provide telephone and email support to foreign tourists visiting India for travel, study, and business.
How to get a job in the Indian embassy abroad?
In one word – Difficult
Suppose you want a job at the Indian embassy or abroad. In that case, you must crack the Foreign Service Exams (IFS) through the combined civil services exam.
The Indian Government also employs personnel from other departments, such as SSC, IAS, IPS, IRS, Defense Services, etc. In short, almost all of them are government employees.
So, there are no specific walk-in interviews for such jobs. The Indian embassy in foreign countries does employ local citizens for various positions. However, they are locals and not Indians.
How do they learn the language? If you secure a high rank in civil services, you can choose IFS and later decide which foreign language to learn.
After being selected, you must learn a one-compulsory Foreign Language (CFL) during your training. You have to choose from a list of languages offered each year.
During the training, an IFS officer was ranked third secretary. Once you clear the CFL test, you will be promoted to the second secretary’s level.
Prior knowledge of any foreign language is not required, though it is helpful. Students can also choose to acquire an optional foreign language (OFL).
It does not mean there is no vacancy for Indians who are not government employees. The Indian government offers several job opportunities for Indians skilled in foreign languages.
Many foreign language experts work in different government departments, from the Defence Attaché to the Tourism Department to IT.
However, you may need expertise in that domain and years of experience for such vacancies.
Maybe this topic will be for another day.
Final Thought (Conclusion)
The activities of any embassy in India or abroad are not limited to the size of the building.
With your language skills, either as a primary or secondary qualification, you can do many language jobs in the embassy.
Just take your time to search, and I’m sure you will find something fitting sooner or later.
It is one area in which you can flourish handsomely with your knowledge of a foreign language.

My daughter studied in 12th Comm CBSC. She is interested to learn a foreign language. Which language prefer between French and Spanish?

Do we need to pass government-related jobs like SSC or IAS to get a job in the Indian embassy? Would a proper Ug or Pg degree be enough? It wasn’t clear. That’s why I asked.
India Foreign Service officers work in the Indian embassy. They may hire temporary for a certain roles, but mostly its government employees.

Thank you so much for this insightful article! Sir, I’ve completed my BA in History and gave JLPT N2 recently. I’m interested in working in the field of cultural exchange/cultural relations in the consulate or embassy or any other Indo-Japanese cultural organisation. Would there be a further educational qualification or exam required for this? Or it’s just on the basis of English-Japanese language ability?
Although you can get a job based on English-Japanese, in most cases they prefer professionals in various fields, and Japanese is just a secondary skill. Since such opportunities may or may not be readily available, I suggest focusing on Japanese-related jobs in MNCs.
Sir, I am doing my ba through du (SOL) with the stenographer course. I searched after completing the course.

No, you need near-native proficiency like DALF C2 or MA in French, followed by a teacher’s training program and their other guidelines. You can then apply for such jobs if there is any new opening. For English teaching jobs in France, most organizations prefer native English speakers from the UK, the USA, Australia, etc. Indians can also apply, but it depends on the requirement.
Hi Vikash, My name is Madhu and I am pursuing my Senior 1 level in Spanish. I want to know about the different levels of courses provided by institutes for foreign languages. Some institutes follow CEFR pattern, and some renowned college or university provides Certification, Diploma, and Advanced Diploma. Also, why do some institutes follow the A1.1, A1.2, B1.1, B1.2, B1.3 kind of pattern?
What is the basic difference between CEFR pattern and Certification, Diploma and Advance Diploma patterns? Is there any market value for different patterns in finding a job?
CEFR is language ability, mainly European, on a six-point scale, from A1 to C2. Embassies affiliated centers and many private institutes follow this model. Sublevels like A1.1, B2.2, etc., are related to CEFR. On the other hand, colleges and universities have their curriculum based on part-time and degree programs. The difference is mainly about duration, approach, and focus area. CEFR model is usually better than part-time university courses from the job perspective as it focuses more on practical usage like speaking and listening section. You can pick any program and make a successful career depending on your engagement with the language.
Hello sir, I have cleared dele C1 level and am right now working in a travel company. I am not a graduate. Can I get a job in an embassy?

Well, right now, I am in 11th std, and I am starting to learn Korean. As after 12th there is a course called foreign language diploma course.

Then I got to know about the job in the embassy. So, can I approach it if I complete the study of the Korean language?
Getting a job in the Korean embassy solely based on the Korean language won’t be easy. Focus on your studies and aim for some combination that can be fruitful in the long run.

You can make a full-time career out of languages. Many people do that and are successful. However, if you wish to diversify and minimize the risk, you would be better off combining a part-time language program with full-time UG and PG degree programs.

You can choose between MBA/PGDBA in IR or Marketing. Both are good and open a wide range of job opportunities. But make sure to do it from a reputed university. A combination of French and MBA can help you land a job in a French company, MNC, or Indian companies with global footprints. It will also help you if you gain some relevant experience before your masters.

An embassy is like a corporate company where all kinds of jobs exist. While some are meant for natives, but many positions are open for local candidates. There is no particular academic qualification that can be considered as the most suitable. Instead of focusing on a specific stream, think about your interest, feasibility and type of courses you want to pursue. Then maybe in the future, you can find something that fits your goal.

My name is Ishaan Kapoor, and I’m learning Spanish from Instituto Cervantes. I’m in C1 level, which will be completed by the next year, 2021. I want to know how I can get a job in the Spain embassy or any Spanish speaking country embassy like Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, etc.
You can regularly check with the respective embassy’s official sites and social channels for updates regarding new openings. In most cases, they require other qualifications or/and experience, depending on the job profile. If you find something great and suitable, you can apply for it.
I want to learn Korean. What are the job opportunities after learning it? and which is the best way to learn it?
I have written two articles for the same. You can go through that by checking the START menu. The best way to learn is to enroll at any Korean learning center or find a teacher. And by combining other resources like audio and video lessons, you can enhance your learning experience.

There is no specific criteria or procedure. Make a list of all embassies associated with the Spanish-speaking region. Then, check their websites or their social media handles for the post related to the new openings. Since the requirement is few, thus they update through their official channels. If you find something good enough and you fit the criteria, you can apply for it as per details.

I had completed my bachelor’s in Tourism Management, and have work experience of 7+ years as an International Travel Consultant – Holidays & Trade Fairs specialist including Visa processing and documentation. I have worked in India as well as in Dubai. I request if you could suggest how to try for a job in Government Tourism Department or the Visa consulate.
I don’t have much knowledge about that. My generic answer won’t help you. If you have any questions regarding foreign languages, you can let me know.
Hello sir,
I am doing BA Hons Spanish from DU along with BA Hons English from IGNOU. Would pursuing both the courses simultaneously avail me of some benefit?
Not much. English Hons from DU, along with Spanish at any private institute would be more advantageous. But if you can manage both, you can continue with that. At least, there is no drawback.
Hi, can you tell me from which du College are you doing Spanish? Recently I passed 12th class, and I want to learn Spanish in extra time.
Only the GRS department at Arts faculty and Jesus and Mary College offer a BA in Spanish. For part-time Spanish courses, you can consider St. Stephen’s, Daulat Ram, Ramjas, Miranda House, to name a few. You can check the entire list → Learn Spanish in Delhi.

Hi sir. I’m Christine. I’ve completed my French literature from Loyola and have a certification up to B1 in DELF. I’m trying for MNC companies, but most of them are night shift basis. So, I’m planning to do my HR. Does it help me in the future process?
Yes, it can be beneficial. Also, I’d suggest continuing your French till B2/C1. Then you can hunt for better jobs as B1 typically helps to get entry-level call center jobs. Beyond that, you need more proficiency and experience.

If so, how can I get and what are the processes to apply for it?
(Additional info: I am proficient in English as well as I have my Praveen utharardh certificate in Hindi)
Please guide me!
I’m sure some opportunities exist. Getting an embassy job as a German-Tamil translator would be difficult, but you can surely try some companies in Tamil Nadu or translation agency or some literary work. Besides, you can look for work related to German-English to diversify your résumé.
Hello Sir,
My name is Sneha and graduated from Delhi University. I did a BA prog in History and Spanish and planning to get a master’s in International Relations. With a master’s in international relations, for which all the above-mentioned positions can I apply for? and also, which foreign language should I learn? I have a basic knowledge of Spanish. So, should I continue with that only? Please help me find a suitable option.
There are multiple jobs like research, information gathering, tracking public policies, political and social changes, preparing reports, promoting ideas, and many more. But most importantly, it depends on the embassies and their requirement. Spanish is one of the good choices since it is useful in over several embassies.
Hey Sir, I’m doing Bcom from Du, and I have completed my B1 level in French from AFD. Now, I want to do further level B2 and C1 from France. Is it beneficial? And please suggest me university for MA in French in France.

Hello Sir
I am a final year English Honors student from Delhi University. I am planning to learn a foreign language. Please suggest the same, which nowadays is most likely preferred in the embassies. I don’t want to give UPSC or SSC exam. So without giving these exams, how can I get into the Indian Embassy with only my English Honours degree and a foreign language?
There is no particular language that is preferred in embassies. But since there are more French, Spanish, and Arabic speaking countries, thus, these languages offer more job opportunities in various foreign embassies. From time to time, different embassies publish about new openings on their websites and social media channels, if you are eligible as per their requirement, you can apply for it.
Greetings of the day Sir,
I am interested in doing a BA Honors in Spanish. Could you please tell me about the language faculty of Doon University. Is it worth doing my degree from there? Can you also suggest me some govt. Colleges for doing BA Hons. In the Spanish language other than jnu, du and bhu.
Doon University, with experienced faculty, is a good choice. Jesus & Mary College, EFLU, AMU, Kendriya Vishwavidyalaya in Tamil Nadu are some other Gov. Colleges with Bachelor in the Spanish program.
Hi, Manjari Mishra. I am Karan Gupta from Dehradun. I completed my bachelor’s degree in the Spanish language from Doon University this year (2020). The faculty of the Spanish department is extremely supportive, but you won’t be getting adequate opportunities to enhance your Spanish skills as resources are limited. University always has a shortage of funds in regards to cultural programs or student exchange programs with other universities. My advice for you is, keep Doon University as the last priority. Feel free to ask me anything regarding Doon University.
Dear sir,
As I understand the UPSC exam more important to get a job as an IFS. I’m looking for your help. I’m a totally new learner. My target language is Mandarin, and I’m looking for a government job in language. And am unable to find the website as well can you please help me?
Regards
There are hardly any Government jobs for Mandarin learners. And that is why you won’t find enough online information.
Hello,
My name is Sonu Kumar. Thank you for your information but I have a question. I am willing to learn Spanish language. What level is required to get a job as a Spanish speaker? Look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards!
The level depends on the type of courses you’re pursuing. Most companies prefer a BA or a 3-year Advanced Diploma in Spanish from any University or DELE / SIELE B2 if you’re studying at a private institute.
Hello sir, I have done my Certificate, diploma and advanced diploma course in French from DU and did several levels from Alliance Francaise de Delhi. I also passed DELF B1 and B2. I want to do my masters in the French language but I am very confused between Delhi University and Jawahar Lal Nehru University.
Can you please guide me as to which one is better than the other considering every possible scenario (as I am of General category, I believe that it is very difficult for me to get admission in JNU than DU, but still I am open to options).
And another important thing I want your guidance in is regarding my future prospects in the French embassy in India. I have done my graduation in Eng Hon from DU and pursuing an MA in English from IGNOU right now. Please can you share your knowledge as to how can I apply in the embassy and what is the whole process to get selected, eligibility criteria, and your personal views on how to study best for it? Please please help me with these two queries.
Thank you
JNU is, of course, better than DU. If you are not able to crack the entrance for either one and ready to relocate to a different city, there are 28 Universities with an MA in French programs. You can check the article “Masters in French.” Amity Noida, though a private University, also offers an MA course, and admission is quite easy.
There are very limited vacancies in Embassies. If you find one (they usually publish on their website and social media channels), you can apply for it. There is no specific criteria as it varies depending upon the job profile.
Sir, I am a student of BA(H) ENGLISH in 2nd year from Delhi University and doing my certificate in german from the same. I’ll complete my advanced diploma too to get a job as a translator in the German embassy.
But I do not exactly know whether the German embassy requires translators or not. Because it was mentioned somewhere that they do not.
If you know it, please let me know whether they actually have a post for translators/interpreters. After graduation, what should I pursue an MA in translation or GERMAN language or something else?
To my knowledge, they don’t hire German translators or interpreters. If they need, they can utilize German teachers’ skills of their own Goethe-Institut or native employees of the embassy. There may be some requirements, but that would be once in a blue moon.
After graduation, you can consider a full-time MBA from a reputed university. And simultaneously, strive for C2. Viel Glück!
I have completed my graduation BCom from Mumbai university. And I am now pursuing LLB from Mumbai university. Can you please guide me on how I can get a job in a foreign embassy in India. Which language should I learn? Please give a particular pathway.
Instead of the embassy, you should be looking for a job in any law firm? You can surely apply for a position in an embassy if it matches your profile. Every embassy has an autonomous hiring process. So, you have to track them individually. The choice of language is pretty subjective. Pick the one you like.
Hi sir! I am Shruti, and I am a 2nd-year student in the Chinese language from the University of Gujarat. I am a little bit confused about what to do next. I should do my master’s, or should I try in the embassy? And what type of job offer me in embassy and MNCs on gradation level. I want to get a reputed job in the embassy also, but I don’t know how I will get that. I want a reputed post from this language, and I want to do a job in India. Please help me out.
Aim for Masters in Chinese. After that, you can explore new openings in various MNCs as a Chinese language specialist. Since embassy jobs are limited, thus, don’t rely on that. Many MNC jobs pay well with high stability.
Hey sir,
I’m Bharti Sharma from Delhi and have done my graduation (B.com) from Delhi University as well B1 level in German from Max Mueller Bhavan. So, can you please let me know how can I apply for a job in the embassy? Or somewhere else?

Can you please suggest me where to contact or prepare for any Latin American embassy job or any travel organization oriented thing. After DELE or SIELE, are there any competitive exams??
You have the contact the respective embassy or send your resume to them. Contact details are mentioned on their official websites. If they have any requirements, you can apply for it.
There is no special preparation for these jobs. It depends on their need, just like any private company with all kinds of openings. The only caveat is new opportunities are very few in embassies.
Hey, I am doing bcom honors and now I am in 2nd year. I am going to complete my Chinese language diploma and hsk also. Sir, suggest to me how I can apply to the embassy after graduation and in which field I opt MBA after BCom Hons. Please suggest sir. ??
You have to follow the web portals of the embassy of China to find any new job opening. The specialization in MBA is very subjective and depends on your career goal and interest.
Sir, any Website or other way to find Private or Govt language Jobs in Delhi?
For private jobs, you can try several job portals like Naukri, Indeed, Monster India, Timesjob, and even Linkedin. The list is endless! I’m not aware of any dedicated and authentic site for Gov. jobs.
Sir, can i get embassy jobs without UPSC Exam? If no, then suggest the best Japanese demanding jobs in India?
UPSC exam is for various Indian services like IAS, IPS, and IFS (Indian embassy abroad). You don’t need it to get a position in the foreign embassies. You can also aim to become a Japanese translator and interpreter. The salaries are pretty lucrative.
Hello Sir, Myself Rishabh and I’m learning Japanese, and pursuing BSc. Can i get any Govt. job by learning Japanese except embassy??
There are very fewer Government jobs for Japanese learners. If you find one, you can apply.
Hello sir
My name is Urvashi, and my question is that recently I completed the b2 level in Spanish. I wan wanna do the job in an embassy or visa company that belongs from Spain and America. So, what I need to do more to get a job there?
In recent years, the number of job openings has decreased in the embassy as most of the visa-related works are outsourced to third parties like VFS global and BLS International. Most of the embassies jobs require other skills from IT to Customer support. Make a decent job profile, send to 25+ Hispanic countries. You can check the news/jobs/update section of these embassies website and social media spaces regularly. Good Luck, Urvashi.
Sir, I am totally confused. Recently I completed my B2 level German, and I have no idea what I can do after B2. Please suggest what I should do. I want a job in India.
From MA in German and an MBA in International business to C2: Großes Deutsches Sprachdiplom, there are infinite possibilities. Without knowing your academic background, interest, and goal, it is hard to assist you with your career.
Hello Sir, I am currently pursuing BA (Hons) political science (2nd year) from DU and Spanish from Instituto Cervantes (B1.2). I would like to work in a foreign embassy, what are the criteria to apply? I do not wish to do an MBA. Will a regular degree in international relations be sufficient? Please guide me.
From time to time, various foreign embassies announce the new opening through their official websites and social media channels. If you find something suitable as per your qualifications, you can apply for it, and appear for the interview. Since the requirements are limited, it might take time to come across such jobs.
Sir, can the Turkish language help me in fetching a job in the Embassy? If yes, what should I do after graduation? Thank you!
Possible but challenging. You can try other job profiles.

Hi Vikash,
This is Shilpa from Hyderabad. I have an overall experience of about 15 years majorly into Human Resource Management and Business Administration with a startup. I was interested in taking up a new language couple of months back and turned on to Spanish. I know I am still in the beginner’s stage, but I would want to know what kind of opportunities will I have if I take up the DELE tests in the future. Will there be any scope for me?
Yes. While it depends on your engagement with the Spanish language, you can find several opportunities in MNCs, export-houses, international business, or educational establishments. But there is one caveat; you might have to start as a fresher. It would be better to look for a combination that includes your existing skills, experience, and Spanish.
Sir, I am a learner of the Japanese language and having the JLPT N2 with a bachelor’s degree. I am seeking a job. Please guide me, sir, how can I get a job in an embassy in a post of Interpreter or any other post. Please help me, sir.
It would be tough to get a job in the embassy of Japan as an interpreter due to limited new openings. You can send your resume to them, including Japanese consultants in Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata, and Mumbai. Moreover, you can search for jobs in MNCs and export houses. You might able to find something worthwhile with JLPT N2.
Hello sir, I have completed my degree in psychology honors with an advanced diploma in child psychology. I have always been interested in learning different languages and I chose French. I have completed level b1 from Alliance Française and will be doing B2. So, are there any job opportunities to start with according to my qualifications. And do I have to have any other degree to get a job related to French in the embassy or MNC?
I don’t know much about psychology-related careers. In MNC, you have both kinds of jobs — French specialists, as well as other positions where French can be value addition. In embassies, most assignments require qualifications other than French. Language plays a vital role, but in most cases, it is not compulsory.
Hi, sir. Currently, I am doing my BA in German from Amity university. I am a little bit confused about what to do next. I should do jobs in private companies, or i should do my masters, and if i do my masters, then i should do it from the same subject i.e., German, or i should try some another field for this. I want to get a job in the embassy also, but dont know how I will get that. I want to do something extraordinary from this language field. i want a reputed post from this. Help me out, sir.
There are many options, and one such great possibility is MBA in in-demand specialization from any reputed university. After your masters, you can apply for any job that fits you. Besides, you can also try many high-paying jobs in MNCs.
Hi sir,
I have done my graduation in the German Language, and I have 2.7 years of experience as a German Translator. Now i want to get a job in German Embassy. Can you please tell me how should i apply and what are the procedure and when will be hiring?
There is no specific criterion about the jobs in embassies. If you find something that fits your profile, you can apply for it. You can track their websites for any new job notification.
Hello, can you please tell me how and where did you work as a German translator? I am studying German currently and have absolutely no idea how and where to apply for a translator?
Hello Vikash Sir,
I am Nilanjana. I did my graduation and had also completed post-graduation in MBA with dual specialization in Marketing and Finance. And have now have enrolled me for a Masters in International Business from France. Alongside I am learning the French language too. I had experience in corporate jobs around 1year. Now, I want my career to begin after completion of this course as a research analyst or market researcher in Sweden. If you can guide anything about that. Or suggest any other thing? It would be wonderful.
Beyond languages, I usually don’t follow other career avenues. So, it would not be easy for me to give you a fruitful suggestion. Maybe you can find some professionals in these fields who can help you out. Good Luck!
What is the age limit to obtain an embassy job after an MBA finance and French diploma?
That will depend on the job. In most cases, there is no age restriction.
Sir, I reside in Mumbai. I am interested in learning the Japanese language. Can you guide me with a good institute for the same in Mumbai? Also, with the point of view of getting a job with a good salary, can you kindly rate French, Spanish, and Japanese in the descending order? That will help me decide on the language I should take up to learn.
You can try Fujiwara Japanese institute. There are few other options like Second Tongue, Cambridge Institute, and Excel Academy. As a language-agnostic, It would be difficult for me to rate languages. You can pick as per your understanding.
Sir, I am 19 years young boy, persuing my B.Tech (Computer Science And Information Technology). It’s my third year, and I really want to do something amazing in my life. But, most often, I am confused about the fields I can opt for. Can you suggest me some? I want to do something that should be a bit technical (but not boring, of course) and a bit social. Somethin’ like a heavy post.
You need to contact any career counselor or try reading more to choose the path as per your interest and goal.
Hi Sir, I am Rashmi and I am in my final year BA. I have joined German classes in Inlingua and also planning to join Alliance for French. I want to become a middle school teacher abroad on the European side. Could you help me how can I proceed? What more do I add to my career? Next, what shall I do?
In Europe, they usually hire native language teachers. You can try as an ESL (English as a Second Language teacher). You may need a master’s in English along with the acquaintance of the official language of the country where you’re teaching. Also, instead of focusing on multiple languages, aim for a higher competency level in one language. For instance, B2-C2 of the Goethe-Zertifikat (German) or DELF/DALF (French).
Sir, I have completed BSc maths and want to learn the Korean language. Sir, the question is which level of the TOPIK exam I need to grab a job at MNC’s in India?

I am in 10th std. I want to make a career as an ambassador. Please guide step by step. Please confirm after 10th by doing a diploma in language can we get a job as an ambassador. It is very diffcult to crack UPSC exam. Kindly give in detail since I am a new fresh about this career and from our surroundings, not any idea/ suggestion.
I wish life was that simple 🙂 To become an ambassador or Diplomat, you have to join IFS (Indian Foreign Service). And for that, you have to crack UPSC with excellent ranking. While foreign language skills are obviously an added advantage, it, however, doesn’t play any role as far as selection is concerned.
Hello sir! I am pursuing B.Com hons from du as well as Spanish Certificate course from du only. I have keen interest in languages. Sir, what should I do after my graduation so I can get a high profile job in embassy?
After graduation, you can consider an in-demand master’s degree like an MBA from a reputed University. It can improve your career options. After the certificate, you can also continue with the Diploma and Advanced Diploma in Spanish. To check your level and gain an international diploma, take DELE or SIELE exam.
Hii Sir I’m Tanu pursuing B.COM from DU. I’m learning Japanese and want to work in an embassy. Can I get a reputed job in the embassy after clearing n2 level in Japanese? Plz, sir suggest to me, I’m really confused about it.
There are fewer job openings in the embassies and challenging to get. If you come across one, you can apply.
I am looking for a permanent Job.
Only Government organizations offer permanent jobs.
Sir, I am doing a diploma in the Arabic language from JMI and also took Arabic classes from a private institute. Please guide me. Should I have to clear the IFS exam after an advanced diploma or not? Or can I easily get a job in an embassy after an advanced diploma? I want a job in the embassy as an interpreter.
If you want to work in the Indian embassy abroad, you need to be an IFS officer. As far as foreign embassies in India is concerned, it depends on the requirement and employers. If you wish to become an interpreter, I would suggest an MA in Arabic after Advanced Diploma.
Is there no need to pursue a BA after an advanced diploma?
If you have done an Advanced Diploma in Arabic, then no need to do a BA in Arabic. However, a bachelor’s program is necessary for nearly all jobs.

An embassy is a place where all kinds of people work with different skill sets. Getting a job solely based on Spanish is challenging since there are a limited number of new openings for the same. No, it doesn’t matter where you study. In the end, only your Spanish fluency will matter if that is the requirement.
Hello sir

Sir, I am a US citizen. I want a job at the US embassy. How can I get the job? I have done graduation.

Hello sir, my name is Poonam, and I have completed my MSC M.Phil in mathematics. I have five years of teaching experience, but suddenly nowadays I have a lot of interest in other languages. I want to be my career in an embassy. Is there any chance for PG student in an embassy?

Sir, I’m 40 years of age, and I want to learn German. Is there any chance of getting a job in Delhi so I can earn a handsome amount?
Age is no barrier to learning a language. Having said that, language career is not an easy way to make money. It requires years of hard work, followed by practical use and experience. I’d still recommend acquiring German, but not from a sole perspective of highly-paid job.
Hello sir, I am a graduate in English Hons. I am currently enrolled in my masters in English. I want to be a research analyst at the embassy. Embassies hardly post any openings, so would dropping my resume personally, a good option! And can you please tell me how one can become a research analyst or a market researcher?
It is true that there is a scarcity of new openings in the embassy. You can send your resume though I feel it won’t be that helpful. Research analyst or market researcher is not my core competency. I won’t be able to help with that.

Hello,
I am a third-year BMS (finance) student, and along with my course, I’ve been studying Spanish. I have cleared two levels, and now I’m in my B1 level. I want to get a job in the embassy or any good MNC, related to Spanish language and a bit of financial aspect to the employment would be preferred. Can you please guide me on how I should proceed.

After achieving B2, if you find an opportunity in an embassy where finance and Spanish are prerequisites, you can apply. You have to be proactive to get employment in embassies. In MNC, there are plenty of possibilities. My suggestion would be to make financial education as primary and Spanish, the secondary skill. Besides, you can also pursue an MBA after your major.

Hello sir,
I am currently in grade 12 non-medical, New Delhi. I would like to work in a Korean embassy as an interpreter preferably. Could you please guide me how and what to do next.
Regards
There are hardly any Interpreter jobs in the embassy of South Korea, at least not in my knowledge. You can, however, find such possibilities in various MNCs. To become an interpreter, you need near-native fluency in Korean. That will take a long time, more than one can imagine. At your age, it is better to focus on learning, rather than earning.

Hello
With full respect, my name is VARINDA, I have done with my graduation and post graduation degree in teaching line but I want to go in embassy line I don’t know what are their requirements or their procedure either I go for a foreign language or what? I really need a job as my interest is to learn the Spanish language.
Neither learning Spanish can help you get a job in the embassy nor you need to work in any Embassy to learn Spanish. While the number of new openings is very limited, the requirement, however, varies greatly as per the nature of the work. For instance, if there is any new opening for HR job, one needs MBA in HR along with relevant experience. The good communication skills and ability to speak the language of the embassy’s origin country is an added advantage. One can find such jobs on various job portals or embassy official websites.

One can also teach French at one of the 25 centres of Alliance Française in India provided that one has completed DALF C2 along with AF teachers training program.

While Spanish is an added benefit, you need some other in-demand skills or academic qualifications along with relevant experience to land a job in an embassy. It is difficult to find an embassy job solely on the basis of Spanish. If you wish to enhance your employement prospects in Spanish, aim for DELE C1.
Sir, if I want to get a job in embassies as interpreter or translator then will I have to clear civil service exam?
In the Indian Embassy in foreign countries? Yes, most of them are central government employees including those who cleared civil service exam.
Yes, sir as an interpreter or translator. And what is the duration of the certificate course of Chinese language at Vishwa Bharati University?
To my knowledge, Vishwa Bharati does not offer a certificate in Chinese. Check — Language Courses at VBU.

Getting a good job in any embassy is a difficult task. The selection is done on the basis of requirement, academic qualification and experience. Higher proficiency in corresponding language is an added advantage but that may or may not be the requirement.
For an Indian, what do you think are the prospects of being a economic assistant or political assistant at a foreign embassy? Is there any future growth to those jobs? Do they have promotions? Are they well paid?
The jobs are well-paid as well as enough opportunity for promotion and growth. Finding a job like that however is not easy due to limited new openings and tough competition.

Hello sir, my name is Bhagvanti kharwad, and i am completing a master’s in commerce from Mumbai University. I am interested in getting the job in the Indian embassy abroad, which other courses and exams i need to clear and which language i need to learn. And in which section i can get a job in the Indian embassy abroad, please help me find a suitable job.
Well, it is not that easy. To get a job in the Indian embassy abroad, you need to pass the civil services exam and then you have to be an IFS (Indian Foreign Services). It is not compulsory to know a foreign language since you will learn one during your training after you’ve been selected. They might hire a few people on a contractual or temporary basis, but it is rare to find such possibilities!
