The Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE) has announced the opening of a selection process for aspiring diplomats, offering 60 vacancies with a competitive starting salary of R$ 22,558.56. This opportunity is significant for applicants seeking entry into the diplomatic field, as the position of third secretary serves as the gateway to a rewarding career in diplomacy. Among the 60 vacancies, there are provisions for various candidates including two specifically reserved for indigenous individuals, signifying the government's commitment to diversity and inclusion in public service roles.

Applications for the competition are being managed by the Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisa em Avaliação e Seleção e de Promoção de Eventos (Cebraspe), with interested candidates required to submit their registrations by 6 PM on February 25. In addition to the indigenous vacancies, the selection process includes additional accommodations for people with disabilities, as well as reserved spots for black and brown candidates, emphasizing a fair chance for diverse demographic groups.

The selection process itself consists of two phases, with the first phase featuring an objective examination that will be held in various locations, including Campo Grande. By conducting the exam across multiple capitals, the MRE ensures accessibility for all potential candidates, thereby expanding the pool of applicants who can pursue a career in diplomacy and serve in representing Brazil's interests globally.
