The whole thread seems to be an ad for this openigo site. Weird.
I am pretty sure the positive comments about openigo are all from their staff and they use this forum for promotion purposes
Yes, definitely.
It makes sense.
I wouldn't be too happy to give them money personally.

Please! Lets put an end to this discussion!
By the way, what do you guys think about the second essay question? I'm having trouble to understand. Should I present real examples of public-private initiatives from my professional career?
Question 2: In 500 words or less, please share your thoughts on the value of the new World Bank Group Young Professionals Program and why joint WBG solutions (public, public-private & private) to development challenges are so important.

Perhaps the Bank recruiters are expecting this kind of answer.

This could be a way to go through. Although, in my view the Bank expects a larger view of the development issues. You can start with COVID-19 and expand the idea for other problems, like education, technology,

In what form can we submit the recommendation letters ?
Do we have to ask our endorsers to send us a scanned version of theirs?No. I believe that recommendation letters come after the first screening process. Perhaps now you should just think about your possible referees as they are supposed to send the RLs directly to the World Bank.

Yeah, that's what I figured.

1. Online application.
2. Initial screening.
3. Request for reference letters.
4. In depth screening.
5. Interviews.
6. Screening - Pass or fail the interview.
7. Analyze business needs.
8. Job offer. -
I indicated that my PhD will be completed "September 2021" rather than "before September 2021" as stated in the eligibility requirements. This was a careless mistake, as the completion of my degree is flexible. I could easily finish before September next year.
Do you guys think this could be a cause for rejection in the initial screening for eligibility? I prepared all documents over several weeks and hope a small mistake like that can be corrected within interviews in person?

I don't think it'll be a big deal but it's better to be safe than sorry! Good luck!
