World Bank Group Operations Officer interview questions

I was an extended term consultant so, I was familiar with the position and the job descriptions. General questions about me and experiences were asked. Because I was applying for a position in India, regional knowledge was also tested during the conversation. Total 5 interviews were conducted for the position. A group phone conversation, one with hiring manager, manager from other unit, HR, program manager.

Lengthy process. Had to go through a) a written exam, b) 10 rounds of interviews, spread over 15-20 days and c) a background check which took two months. But most of the time, interviewers asked just the same standard questions in every interview. However, there were no stress questions. A few of the interviews were telephonic (as the interviewers can be calling from other countries) so it can be a little uncomfortable if one is not used to it, specially with understanding the accents.
