Fed jobs don't care how overqualified you are (at least not as much as civilian jobs) Apply there. You're an Americorp graduate, you might have have special access/pipelines.


Also, depending on your language. Apply directly as a foreign service consular fellow.

Would Hindi and Spanish be in demand for FSOs?

Currently, Arabic, Mandarin, Portuguese, and Spanish are the languages in the Consular Fellows pipeline.

Wow, that is plausible.

Would Hindi and Spanish be in demand for FSOs?

It changes a bit from year to year and I think Spanish is not generally that much in demand but still looks good in an application. I hear it’s gotten a lot easier to get in now that the economy is good and so few people want to work in trump’s state department.

Spanish is actually in very high demand in the consular section. If you become an FSO, there's a good chance you'll be posted in a consular section in a Spanish-speaking at some point, particularly early in your career.

OP, if you want to be an FSO and don't have any other job leads, by all means apply for the fellows program. But keep in mind that being an FSO is extremely difficult, with as low as 1% of applicants eventually becoming an officer. I'm not saying that to deter you; it's just not a "fall back" job even with a law degree.
