Here's the skinny;


YOU HAVE TO KNOW SOMEBODY (or somebody who knows somebody) !!

Turn over is low BUT they have over 200+ applicants on file ??

Jobs are posted internal for people already employed by GMS.

If open positions are not filled by a GMS employee one of the 200+ applicants can be hired.

Open positions will have 50+ applicants.

Bet one of the 50+ applicants for a given position know somebody !!


So unless you have a friend/spouse, golfing/drinking buddy don't bother (this goes for all GMS positions).
It's a bigger racket than the slave labor VCDD.
With the attitude shown in this original post, the employer probably sensed right away that a person just wants to "ride around on a golf cart and get paid for it". But in reality the ambassador has an important job to do diplomatically and ambitiously.

Then after admitting the desire to do nothing but ride around and get paid for it, there's a judgement made of all VCCD employment being "slave labor".

Surely this attitude did not go unnoticed!
