I had a really good interview for an Executive Assistant job at the World Bank. The whole thing was super organized and felt very professional. There were seven people on the panel, and they were from different departments, which shows how they work together there. It was formal, but the interviewers were nice and respectful, and tried to make me feel comfortable.

Got the call usually within a week of applying. I had a panel of 4 women interviewing me. One was the director, two I think were in departments I would have worked in and another was a remote analyst. They asked general questions and it was pretty lighthearted. It was a quick one, around 45 minutes.
