World Bank Group interview questions

There was a total of about 6 interviews; 4 over the phone and 2 in person. The first phone interview was with my immediate supervisor and two other officers that I would have to work with. The second phone interview was with the regional manager for the department. The third phone interview was with HR and the fourth phone interview was with another officer who I would later work with. The first face to face interview was with my immediate supervisor and my second face to face interview was with two officers from another department who work in the local office. The interviews all revolved around the same questions, what was my experience like in my previous job, why did I want to work for IFC, what did I know about IFC, what would I bring to the team etc etc. Fairly generic. Advice for other interview candidates is be honest, research the company before going into the interview, and be confident. There is no predicting what they may ask as the company is very very diverse and each position even within the same department, has very specific requirements. Be sure to review your job description as well and expect that what it says about the position may not be all that you are required to do.

First of all, I was reached by phone for an interview related to my professional goals, career path, interests and possible constrains. It takes approximately 40 minutes. After a couple of months, I was invited to a personal and group assessment at the Headquarters. Each assessment takes one day and was focused on the analysis of a business case. All the process was very interesting, we also received some lectures about activities and functions inside the company, work culture and further development.
