What is Diplocon?

Diplocon was founded to provide resources for people seeking jobs providing construction services to the Diplomatic Community. While continuing to do so, it has also evolved into a nexus for employment professionals and consultants, job seekers interested in employment OCONUS (Outside CONtinental United States) in any field, and people already OCONUS whether working in the diplomatic realm, construction, maintenance, and support of diplomatic facilities, or in other professions and roles. The products and services we provide can be valuable to anyone seeking a better life, or, just a little extra something in life.

Complete consulting services are available for those seeking recession resistant employment in the diplomatic construction and government services realm, but who desire to launch their search in “Fire and Forget” mode like a smart munition. The fees depend on amount of services required, are always reasonable, are billed in increments as provided, and include:

 

A Diplocon consultant and the client discuss all aspects of the client’s goal of overseas employment and assess strong and weak points of the client’s background. Consultation sessions are by email in most cases but telephone sessions can be arranged.

 

  • We then focus on any areas that may need improvement and offer quick, effective methods for achieving it.
  • While the client is working on skill set improvement (if needed), Diplocon will be searching for currently open positions and keeping the client in the loop. In the meantime, he or she can be learning a new skill or honing current skills to meet very near future demand if no position is found that could use his or her current skill set.

 

Many clients already have the background to go immediately to active search. However sometimes an overseas job search can take a while, and, once hired, actual deployment can be weeks or even a couple months down the road so there is time to work on some skills, and, especially, the mindset of excellence that will guarantee subsequent assignments or contracts, and long term employment, if desired. In the interim between resume submissions and deployment on your initial assignment we will work on ensuring your head is wrapped around the concept of overseas employment. You see, overseas work is vastly different from work in Home Town, USA in that one does not just show up on start day, sign a W-4, and begin swinging a hammer or writing program code. By the first day of your overseas work, some entity, whether private or taxpayer funded, will have expended many thousands of dollars and many hours of effort getting your feet on the ground in a foreign country. You/ we need to ensure you will be a good investment so you can earn the big money as long as you need or want to.

 

Throughout the consultation process, Diplocon will help you decide whether a particular assignment is right for you – and you right for it.

Then we will ensure you are:

 

  • ·ready and equipped to enter the destination country
  • ·able and willing to perform the job well
  • ·prepared to get the most out of living in the country you will be calling home for the duration of your assignment there.

 

You and Diplocon.com will be partners in this and both will want you to succeed by being prepared for whatever may come your way out there. This is not to say that all assignments are in rough parts of the world. On the contrary, the jobs are everywhere! You could end up in Geneva, Switzerland or Canberra, Australia as well as more challenging environments in West Africa or South Asia. To proceed along the path to your new lucrative, and exciting, overseas career you can purchase the services above or email; info@diplocon.com, or greg@diplocon.com.
