At this point in my life the career path which interests me the most is the Foreign Service. This is has been a career interest of mine throughout high school and continues to be today.

working for the U.S. Government would not be an unrealistic undertaking, depending on the skills of the applicant and the qualifications required from them.

questions. By offering this option it helps slow down misinformation, and longer wait times. The company faces some weakness. For example, if the website is down for planned maintenance this can be an inconvenience to the customer. The customer will call in to speak with a representative. The call times could be longer due to many people calling in at once, or frustration at not being able to reach the correct person.
