      Lead Specialist Interview

      Aug 26, 2014
      Anonymous employee
      Washington, DC
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at World Bank Group (Washington, DC) in Feb 2010

      Interview

      Very formal and rigid application process, and hard to gain information other than from the web posted job description. The interview process is formal with a round the table approach of one question for each interviewer. It is question and answer only, with very little interaction of discussion. it seems the same exact questions are posed to each interviewee, and so spontaneous follow up questions and answers are not encouraged. The body language is very neutral and sometimes bored. Definitely not a private sector approach

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Most difficult question was : describe a situation when you were in conflict and how you resolved, and give specific real life examples
      Answer question
