What does a day in the life of a united states ambassador look like?

Probably very busy, meeting with a lot of business types and pols.\n\nWhy don't you present your question to a real ambassador? Tell his office what you told us about it being a school paper. You might be surprised, they would probably respond.\n\nA person in that position undoubtedly has a public affairs person, find out who it is, and address it to them.\n         Good Luck

Unless you are a VIP or have an invitation, you will not be entertained at the embassy.\n\nIf you happen to be a VIP, you can usually have your aides contact the embassy and request a meeting.  They may throw you a reception depending on your importance.  Examples would be:\n     1. CEO of a fortuen 500 company in country XXX to close a major deal.\n      2. Member of congress\n      3. High ranking administration official (cabinet member, critical sub cabinet member etc.).\n\nIf you're a regular guy, your only business at the embassy will be for:\n1. Consular affairs (lost passport, help with bail money, etc.).\n2. Invitation to an all American event which typically takes place in countries with small American populations.

As with all "People to People" student ambassadors they are reccomended by former ambassadors.\nI was a regular one years ago.

Role\n\nThe senior diplomatic officers among members of the Commonwealth of Nations are known as High Commissioners, who are the heads of High Commissions. Representatives of the Holy See are known as Papal or Apostolic Nuncios, while the head of a Libyan People's Bureau is a Secretary.\n\nHistorically, officials representing their countries abroad were termed ministers, but this term was also applied to diplomats of the second rank. The Congress of Vienna of 1815 formalized the system of diplomatic rank under international law:\n\nAmbassadors are ministers of the highest rank, with plenipotentiary authority to represent their head of state. An Ordinary Ambassador is one heading a permanent diplomatic mission, for instance the senior professional diplomat in an embassy. An Extraordinary Ambassador could be appointed for special purposes or for an indefinite term; politically appointed ambassadors would fall under this category.\n\nMoreover, a Resident Ambassador is one who resides within the country to which s/he is accredited. A Non-Resident Ambassador is one who does not reside within the country to which s/he is accredited, but lives in a nearby country. Thus a resident ambassador to a country might at the same time also be a non-resident ambassador to several other countries.\n\nAmong European powers, the ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary (French ambassadeur extraordinaire et plénipotentiaire or German ausserordentlicher und bevollmächtigter Botschafter) was deemed the personal representative of the sovereign, and the custom of dispatching ambassadors to the head of state rather than the government has persisted. For example, ambassadors to and from the United Kingdom are accredited to or from the Royal Court of St. James's, rather than to the State.\n\nBecause members of the Commonwealth of Nations have or had a common head of state, they do not exchange ambassadors, but instead have High Commissioners which represent the government rather than the head of state.\n\nRanking below full ambassador are the rank of envoy, minister resident and chargé d'affaires. They represent their government rather than their head of state. For further details, see diplomatic rank.\n\nWhile the title still reflect the Ambassador's natural vocation to head a diplomatic mission, the rank is often held by carreer diplomats, as a matter of internal promotion, regardless of the posting, and in many naional carreers it is quite common for them to be appointed to other functions, especially within the ministry/ministries in charge of foreign affairs, in some countries in systematical alteration with actual postings.

The President has a Secretary of State, Ambassadors in every American embassy around the world, and receives daily briefings from his staff to include intelligence that let him know items of interest from around the world.  The president's advisors, subject matter experts, and staff develop courses of action and recommendations, and the President, based on those courses of action and recommendations, makes decisions.  The CIA is a small piece of that.

I think I can fill in the blanks.\n\nThe boat was the "Dixie" Belle, out of New Orleans. The second, would be "Ambassador".

Pose your question to the US Department of state, or to your local Embassy.

depends what sort of a diplomat that person is ...\ne.g an Ambassador overlooks the functioning of all the consulates and his embassy in the country. He is the link between the his native country and the country in which he is.\n\nThen there is a consulate general who is the head of the consulate and reports to the ambassador. There r several consualte generals in a country(one for each consulate). Then u have various diplomats who r repsonsible for the fucntioning of the consulate and embassy. Basically u can say its a mini-foreign government and the diplomats are the members of the mini governement in the foreign nation.\n\nMaximum work is done in the embassy and not the consulate.

This is such an important question. The person chosen currently, I fear will be a yes man to the US position. I hope for all our sakes I am wrong.  The person to take the role as Secretary General probably needs to be someone who has been a career diplomat rather than a career politician. \n\nIt must be someone who has the sense and the courage to recognise that the first priority is for democracy in the United Nations. This must be the first step, then we can all move forward and the UN will not be a lame duck. The problem is the VETO stupid!\n\nAs long as the select few "founding" members have a veto there can not be democracy in the UN and the UN is  a waste of time. Foe example, the US has vetoed all the UN criticisms of Israel, prevented UN inspectors from investigating possible criminal acts against Palestinians by the Israelis.etc. (In practice the US has used the veto more times than all other members put together). You cannot have a democracy with a special interest veto - it cannot work, democracy cannot work!\n\nSurprisingly, many of the problems which we are now facing are the result of the US veto. The failure of the UN to deal with the Israeli-Palestinian issue was the main trigger for the current unrest across the Middle East as Arabs everywhere saw that there was a real injustice leading to suicides in Palestine as an escape from almost 40 years of brutal Israeli rule.  Now the Israelis are suggesting (its their first move to test political will around the globe, before action, ) to assassinate all the Hamas (the elected) leaders in Palestine. Have the Israelis and the Americans learned nothing from these wars (Iran, Lebanon)? The West struggles to get an election going in Palestine, then when the people elect those the West seems not to want, then we will murder them?!! Hello? Is anyone there?\n\nYou cannot fight an ideology with traditional military might, you simply make the enemy stronger and increase its membership. Ideologies are fought using social and economic instruments for change, and by recognising that the underlying fuel to terrorism is not fundamentalism (thats only a catalyst) -  the fuel is injustice. The fundamentalist voices claim this is a jihad, but the vast majority support the movement on the grounds of the obvious injustice. Recent examples would be the US/Israeli planned invasion of Lebanon, executed by the Israelis and which was planned BEFORE the Israeli soldiers were kidnapped (anyone remember them now??) and the  West's reluctance to call for a halt to the bombing (cluster bombing) of Lebanese civilians! And with the Israeli bombing of homes killing 18 people (13 in one family) during the peace keepers occupation. Do you need to be an Arab to ask"where is there justice?"\n\nTherefore, for the UN to be effective it must be democratic. This does not mean that it will solve all the UNs problems because the UN inevitably will remain a cumbersome bureaucracy, but it will mean that the actions of the UN will express the will of elected people around the World, addressing,discussing and attempting to resolve  issues and NOT result in the eunuchization of the UN because of special interest groups' vetoes.\nAs to naming a successor, maybe we should wait until the current one expires?

The traditional path that one follows to become an Ambassador is to join the United States Foreign Service. In order to enter the Foreign Service, an individual must have a strong, well-rounded education. He/She must pass the oral and written sections of the Foreign Service Exam, administered by the US Department of State. Applicants must be between the ages of 20 and 59 to take the exam. \n\nThe US Department of State is the lead US foreign affairs agency. The Department hires Foreign Service, Civil Service and Student employees to work in Washington, D.C. at the agency’s offices in the United States and at nearly 265 posts abroad.\n\nFor further information, follow the link in Source(s).

I am not sure if this is right or not but this is salaries for several of those important positions:\n\nA full-time secretary at the mission earns $20,000 to $21,000 a year, mission administrative officials said. Ambassador Pickering's current salary is $82,500 a year. The average salary for the mission staff as a whole is estimated by administrative officials at $35,000 to $40,000 a year.

Basically Ambassadors' represent the country they are from in another country. They explain things to the people of their assigned country,  learn what their country is about, try to discuss why their country did something, and when possible develop long term working relationships. In addition, they help members of their own country visiting the assigned country how to get around and do things correctly.

A day with Mr. Trump would be humbling experience to say the least. Those that are business professionals like myself know the value of his experience and would do all we can to learn from it. First questions would be is he Happy with his success and I would want to know if it is all worth it.
