Job World
1.
What is JobWorld and how does it affect me?
JobWorld is the way the Bank, IFC and MIGA are
handling the creation and filling of job vacancies. It
affords you as an applicant an on-line way of making
known your interest in a particular job.
2. Ok, I'm ready to apply for a job - where do I start?
The "Applicant's Workbench" from the JobWorld's main
Web page is the entry to all applications. Typically you
will start your job application process by looking at the
list of "open" jobs for job(s) you think you're qualified
for.

3. What is an "open" job? Can't I apply for a job at any time?
JobWorld is a formal means of making public (advertising) a
manager's need to fill a job requisition, i.e. job. One of the many steps
in this process is to actively accept applications from potential
candidates for a specific period of time, e.g. 14 days. During this
period the job is said to be "open" and one can submit his or her
application for the job. Prior to the open date the particulars of the job
have not been finalized and thus the job is not ready for advertising.
After the end of the open period the next stage of the job fulfillment
process must be started which typical does not have any provision for
accepting additional applications.
4. What are these "Job Categories"? I thought the Bank was promoting the
"one-staff" concept which seems a bit counter to placing people in
"Categories".
The "Job Categories" are a historical way of grouping the several
hundred jobs into more manageable "chunks". People are encouraged
to apply for all jobs that they are at least reasonably qualified for as

listed in the individual job requirements, i.e. "Duties and Accountabilities" and
"Selection Criteria". Of course application does not guarantee acceptance but
is the required first step.
5. I’ve found a job I want to apply for. What is the next step?
Assuming you’ve selected the job from the list, scroll down until you see the
Apply for this Job “button”. Click on the button to enter your application. The
JobWorld Login screen will pop-up asking you for your id and password,
which you must successfully enter before proceeding.

Junior Professional Associate (JPA)Program
Contd….
• The JPA program is not a point of immediate entry
to a career within the Bank. All JPAs terminate
employment on graduation. As such, expectations
of both the hiring manager and the candidate need
to be discussed and clearly understood at the
