      Communications Specialist Interview

      Aug 11, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      New York, NY
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at World Bank Group (New York, NY) in Dec 2014

      Interview

      To its credit and because so many of its employees are scattered around the world, the Bank does interview and hire people via Skype--which is what happened in my case. The process itself meant interfacing with the project managers who are responsible for hiring their consultants. Unfortunately, this means that personal connections are often the most important factor in determining whether one gets hired. From there, the interview questions center around the extent to which one has experience in one's area. In my case, my questions centered on my experience in creating communications programs, my experience in international affairs, and my knowledge of the Bank itself.

      International and super professional. You must come prepared with true examples of your experiences to showcase your worth.

      Feb 15, 2021
      Anonymous employee
      Lusaka, Lusaka
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at World Bank Group (Lusaka, Lusaka) in Feb 2020

      Interview

      Three part process; written, in-person and another in-person oral interview. The long waiting period was between the date of submission of the application and being called for an interview. After that, it was quite quick to hear back from the panel
