They have the same political status as metropolitan departments. As integral parts of France and the European Union, overseas departments are represented in the National Assembly, Senate, and Economic and Social Council, vote to elect European Parliament (MEP), and also use the euro as their currency. France's earliest, short-lived attempt at setting up Overseas départements was after Napoleon's conquest of the Republic of Venice in 1797, when the hitherto Venetian Ionian islands fell to the French Directory and were organised as the départments of Mer-Égée, Ithaque and Corcyre. In 1798 the Russian Admiral Ushakov evicted the French from these islands, and though France regained them in 1802 the three départments were not revived. Under the 1946 Constitution of the Fourth Republic, the French colonies of Algeria in North Africa (independent since 1962), Guadeloupe and Martinique in the Caribbean, French Guiana in South America, and Réunion in the Indian Ocean were defined as overseas departments. Since 1982, following the French government’s policy of decentralisation, overseas departments have elected regional councils with powers similar to those of the regions of metropolitan France. As a result of a constitutional revision that occurred in 2003, these regions are now to be called overseas regions; indeed the new wording of the Constitution gave no precedence to the terms overseas department or overseas region, though the latter is still virtually unused by the French media. The overseas collectivity Saint Pierre and Miquelon was an overseas department from 1976 to 1985. Following a yes vote in a referendum held on 29 March 2009, the overseas collectivity Mayotte will become an overseas department in 2011. From Wikipedia under the

How does the state department determine where to place new foreign service workers to overseas positions? Asked by KN55 - Sun Jul 27 01:18:41 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Based on any number of criteria -- and know that the initial placement of new foreign service workers is NOT permanent; such workers are moved again about two years later, then moved again, and so forth. I have a friend who got her first placement at her first choice (England), but then after two years, was moved to Serbia (*not* a place she had ever expressed an interest in moving to). I have another friend who did not get her first choice for first placement, but ended up there some years later. The point is: placement for new foreign service workers is not permanent, and placement can often feel quite arbitrary from the workers' point of view.

My job involves checking the authenticity of the information that applicants declare on their CV/ job application. It's not so difficult for me when I check there home qualifications and working experience, for I am familiar with our home country administration system and regulation about signatures/ seals, etc. However, I find it a big challenge for me to check some overseas degrees/ working experience of the candidates. The supporting documents are strange to me and I'm afraid I cannot know if the candidates are cheating.

I would never rely on a document given to me by the candidate him/herself as proof of a degree, even in the U.S. It is too easy to get a good forged diploma these days. The only way to know if a degree is legitimate or not is to tell the candidate that they have to have transcripts sent to you directly from the school to you. The candidate does not get involved in the transmission of the documents at all. The only problem is that in some countries, this can't be done as quickly as it can in others. I work in academia, and it is fairly standard for job postings to require transcripts with the application.
