Average interview

Application

I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at World Bank Group (Washington, DC) in Jul 2019

Interview

One week after applying (end of May) online I received an email saying that the shortlisted candidates would be contacted 3 weeks later. After 3 weeks I was told I was shortlisted (end of June) and then asked for an online interview with a panel of 4 people less than a week later (mid July). I got a positive response 2 weeks latter (end of July).

Interview questions [1]

Question 1

It was mostly motivational type of questions (which makes sense since it was only an internship position and you are placed based on your background and business needs) 1. Where do you see your self in 5 and 10 years? , 2. Why the World Bank? 3. Why the World Bank and not IMF? (I had written my thesis on IMF conditionality), 4. Tell us about XX that you did (mentioned in my CV already), 5. Why did you choose the specific departments of the Vice Presidency?
