Whoever thought of this video at the State Dept deserves a raise. Genius

I am a child of a diplomat and spent most of my childhood overseas living that life. I found this series, The Diplomat, to capture much of the spirit of the job. American values are front and center in your life and how you portray yourself to others. Also, there can be quite a lot of drama, quite a lot of real danger, and I appreciated that the show brought some of that into their plot line. For my experience, I lived in Berlin during the Cold War, and in Afghanistan when things fell apart in the late 70's. I am glad to see actual diplomats validating my memories of this life here.

I loved this entire first season on Netflix. It's funny you guys took the time to record this video, finishing it up with a career plug. I wish I was young and educated enough to pursue a public service career. Thank you for your service Kristin Kane!

I was surprised at the end of the video! Didnt realise this was for the dept of state. REALLY REALLY GOOD.

[dogarogacog]

Didn't realize this was an ad by the state department until the end. 10/10

[marcozaplan]

Wow this video is so effective didn't notice it was from the State Department and yes I just checked how to be a junior diplomat hahaha

I love the Diplomat. It's so cool to know that it was grounded in a lot of truths about the real job.

As a former diplomat of a third world country with a decade of experience, I can without a doubt say that foreign service is an extraordinary career that you will never forget. Looking back I am still amazed at the things that I did for my country and the shit I put up with while putting on that perfect composure as diplomats are representing the country. I left the service with no regret because of a coup but I do miss the pride I felt representing my country. Every diplomat has behind the curtain special story. Definitely gonna watch that show😊

The show was amazing. This video is amazing. Please keep posing more Diplomat esc content to stave of my show withdrawal!

[gbengaogun]

I can't believe I'm falling in love with social media content from the state dept. I just hit the subscribe button. This is a phenomenal piece of content. More pls!

[janechoy]

Love the show; super fun! and LOVE that the state department actually put out this reaction vid!

[lizflores]

This video actually made want to pivot my career. Never thought being a diplomat was remotely attractive. Well done 👏

[melissandretrebout]

As a French person, the ending career message is very interesting and feels very American (in a good way). I don't think I've ever seen a career plug in a similar French video. I think there's this idea that we like to keep what's elitist and prestigious that way, while I feel like American will try (or make us think they do) to demystify it.

I wish this video was longer, it was great!

[akishapearman]

I am glad my random Youtube algorithm brought me here. Long time no see! Nice to see you, Kristin!

[kawag]

This is a well made video. It's not in your face. Is professionally done and indistinguishable from those done by other known channels.

[Takhar]

What a brilliant video - well done to everyone involved.

[kevinnapier]

This is SO GREAT!! I wondered, when I saw the trailer, what this critique would sound like! #LoveThis

[RyanThompson]

This was a really great video. Thank you for making this

[Kes]

Love this show. Can't wait for the next season. As a child of a career diplomat myself I can totally relate.
