World Bank Group Team Assistant interview questions

I applied online in April 2016. In July I received a call from the Hiring Manager in Washington DC who confirmed my availability and subsequently sent an invitation for an interview. The panel consisted of 5 persons; 3 in Washington, 1 in Jamaica, 1 in Argentina. It was a video conference interview. They asked a number of questions including basic, behavioral and competency-based questions. It lasted for about 45 minutes and based on my experience with interviews I knew I aced it. They called about a week after to offer congratulations on being 1 of the 2 successful candidates who will go on to the next stage of the application process. Wait!! Next stage? You can imagine my surprise. The next interview was with the Latin American and the Caribbean Director. Her first question was, "Tell me how you would go about determining the amount of men who wear ties in the country?" That was it for me! I literally went blank.

Applied for the role in early December 2016. Received a call end February 2017 by the hiring manager if I was still looking for a job and interested to come down for an interview. Waited for another 2 weeks before receiving a call to schedule a f2f interview. 2 March: First interview with the hiring manager (Office Administrator) and Program Assistant. Very detailed but encouraging interview. A few days later, got a call for the 2nd interview. 9 March : 2nd interview was with the Investment team comprising of 4 Investment Officers and a Senior Credit Officer (The Boss)
