I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at World Bank Group (Washington, DC) in Jan 2008
Interview
I had worked with them before, so knew the people in the interview process. Selection really depends on whether they think you are apt for the job. Emphasis on ability to perform in the time frame they determine.
One round of interview. Go over your resume. Several BQs. And asking you coding / technical skills. Writing/Coding sample after the interview. Straightforward and chill. Much better than rounds of back and forth interviews in the private sector
The first round was a panel with 4 different people from the unit. The second round is with the hiring manager. Communication was clear. Some hard questions, some easy expected questions.

Question 1
If you were in an elevator with the Bank's President, how would you pitch him to give our unit more funding?
I interviewed at World Bank Group (Washington, DC)
Interview
Pretty standard-behavioral & technical. Depends on the role you’re applying for so know the technicalities of it. I applied for a social protection role that involves use of ai for research- so the knowledge of using ai and of the subject matter was helpful.

Question 1
Depends on the role you applied for but “walk us through the process of how you would …”
