Good morning all, thanks for a great session. My question is does the World Bank hire internationally for roles based in the US? And do recruiters from the bank typically approach potential candidates on LinkedIN for roles?

Where is the best place to learn more about hiring requirements and processes for specific programs (e.g. the Young Professional Program)? It seems like people traditionally just rely on their network to tell them about these experiences. What if you have a limited network and want to explore additional opportunities?

Can you be a current masters degree student and apply for an internship? Do you have to have a minimum number of experience? Can you apply without all the job requirements?
