css seeks a career, not service. otherwise the age restriction and attempt-limits do not really make sense. while studying the recruitment procedure of american foreign service (afs), i came to know that any american citizen with reasonable education can seek employment under american foreign service until s/he is 59 years old. moreover, there is no restriction on no. of attempts in foreign service officer exam (fsoe). so any teacher or bank officer having a vast experience which can be put to use in american diplomacy is given an opportunity to serve in afs. there is certainly something wrong with the system in pakistan.

i sympathize with everyone deprived of the opportunity to attempt css due to restrictions. and i wish there is a revision in the rules to accommodate all the serious candidates who desire to serve under the government.

regards,
