Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso World Bank Group (Washington, DC) nel mese di mar 2011
Colloquio
The interview include phone then personal interview, it involved a panel and was mostly technical. Focus was on showing technical knowledge as well as familiarity with the type of work that is expected to be done. Typically 3-6 candidate are short-listed for face to face interview. Familiarity with the institution is not necessarily required.

Domanda 1
The most difficult question concerned giving a response in a context that I was not familiar with. I was given a question in my area of domain and asked to apply it on Bangladesh, a country I knew nothing about. The purpose of such questions is to see whether the candidate is able to use their knowledge in different contexts and to modify the approach and thinking based on the country specific context. Such questions almost always come up at interviews and the best answer is to make some assumptions about the context in case you are not familiar with it.

Non-transparent whatsoever. Generic questions that lead you to think they already have a candidate in mind. Technical people without HR or specific knowledge in the panel. Panel is not interested to follow up to your answers. Feedback is generic and poor.
