Abstract
Because of their language skills, flexibility and ability to quickly acquaint themselves with new areas of expertise, translation and interpreting graduates can be found in many embassy departments, and not merely in the capacity of translator or interpreter. The author discusses the necessary study background and qualifications for working at an embassy, the professional demands, and offers an insight in the job market development.
