Getting job in world bank?

Question

Could anyone please tell me what experience one should have to join world bank as an economist?

Answer 1

A PhD from the London School of Economics would go a long way towards opening doors.

Answer 2

It's going to be extremely difficult. The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund's economist jobs are held for the best in the world. So a doctorate degree and a ton of experience in some international organization is going to be needed. Although the IMF is easier than the World Bank since the IMF has more employees and has entry-level jobs. Nevertheless, get some experience with an NGO in an economic dept.
