I am Greek

Here is the website of the Greek Foreign Ministry. Perhaps you can make something out of it, it's "Greek to me."

There seems to be nothing about employment on the English version.

Which country are you from?

If you are American, most people apply to the Foreign Service - your first hurdle is passing the exam http://www.careers.state.gov/officer/register.html

You do not need to go to law school or speak the language of the country you are going to. A friend who is an FSO was a history major and only spoke Spanish, but has never been sent to a Spanish speaking country. She's been posted in embassies in Eastern Europe and the Middle East and was sent to intensive language courses before being sent overseas
