I was interviewed in July and received official notification of my candidacy in October.
I received an email requesting availability for a telephone interview, within a month of applying online as an external candidate. At this time I was away attending a workshop. I asked about the possibility of having the interview a week later when I would have returned and the Bank strongly insisted that it had to take place at the time suggested. I consented, knowing that I would be interviewed in a cramped hotel room, with the call having to be routed through the hotel's front desk.
At the time of the interview I was prepared and was waiting for 30 minutes for phone to ring. When it did, the Bank's representative said they have to reschedule for the next day because of difficulties. The next day was a repeat; the rep again apologized for having to reschedule and requested availability for the following day. By this time I was beginning to feel that the Bank was inefficient and disorganized, and considering that they insisted on the interview being held during that week instead of a week later at my request.
When the interview finally started two days after the initially scheduled date, I was speaking with a panel of three members: an American-accent male lead interviewer, a Hispanic male field officer based in Central America, and a Hispanic female officer based in Washington DC. After the American offered apologies for the disorganization (citing 4th of July exigencies and inability to get a panel together during this period), he went on to ask standard questions. I was asked to 'walk them through' my cv; recall a time when I handled conflict; recall a time when I was a part of group work, etc. While the Hispanics seemed interested and satisfied with my answers, and showed optimism, the American downplayed the answers and conveyed the impression that I was not what they were looking for but he was nevertheless going along. By the end of the interview this was clearly his position (with the other panel members remaining short and silent). This intimated that there were some power dynamics among them and the American called the shots.
