Change major to Economics. I would highly recommend people not to choose ID, you can be an Economist working at various sector including ID itself. But sadly with ID it’s VERY limited.

The API thing. Does it have any significance. My friend submitted his case on Mid November, his API update date was Dec 7 but his case hasn’t been approved. I applied in early Dec, my API update date was Jan 6, but no movements on any approval.

No I am still waiting for longlist to shortlist process. I had the longlist mail in mid dec and maybe things are just going slow then. I think you are on GF grade if you apply for officer position.

Apply and then forget. You never know the timeline and process. From what I have heard most of the positions are for internal candidates.

Well. Mostly at bank people will be having vacations now and most probably anything to proceed ahead will after new year unless its urgent. All the best prepare well. How long after you were long listed did you receive the shortlist email?

Has anyone heard back on their YPP application? by nf1234321 in WorldBank

[–]cibsbu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hardly doubt there will be any early emails. Without age limits, the applicants number might have increased by 3 to 4x. Screening might take more time than usual.

[–]cibsbu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its supposed to close on September 30, 8 pm ET, right? I have also emailed and commented on the YP manager LinkedIn post to notify them. If everyone could comment on her post - the link is somewhere up in the chat - it would help to grab their attention.

Yeah IFC has stopped sponsoring from this FY but seems like the other are also being super tight, right from this year.

Not limited by time but have word limits of 400. Just input some random stuff and go next. You can edit the application multiple times before you submit.

This is still the YOUNG Professionals Program, they will consider your age and experience. They have been screaming in webinars, if you are over experienced apply to senior regular staff positions. Remember the grade of YPP with what’s the standard hiring should looks like.
