Short-term Consultant (STC) Interview

Anonymous employee

Accepted offer

Positive experience

Easy interview

Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at World Bank Group in Oct 2011

Interview

A friend recommended me for an STC position. They needed somebody ASAP. I've got a phone call the next day from the manager. The manager asked me when I can start and a few other questions and that was it. She gave me an offer right away and I accepted. I had to travel back to my country to get the visa, so I started 2 weeks later. Everything was super fast and easy.
