IFC does not recruit on all campuses. However, IFC is looking for top talent worldwide, and we encourage all interested students who meet the relevant qualifications to send resumes to mbarecruit@ifc.org from about mid-August through the end of September each year.
A summer internship with IFC does not guarantee entry into the GTT Program. Summer interns who do well are given the opportunity to go directly to the second round of the GTT interview process but face open competition at that time.

How long does it take from the time I apply for a job to the time I receive my letter of appointment? |
 |
It typically takes from three to six months for this process. Following receipt of applications for a job, IFC short-lists candidates. Once the interview process for these short-listed candidates is completed, IFC sends candidates a letter of intent together with some forms. This is followed by security checks and reference checks, concluding with a letter of appointment.

How do I find housing? |
 |
For those relocating to Washington, our housing counselors will provide you with information and guidance on the housing market and neighborhoods in the Washington metropolitan area. They will advise on topics such as renting vs. buying, resources for finding appropriate housing, and review of related housing documents. It's suggested that you give yourself 30 days to search for housing. This amount of time will allow you to become familiar with different areas of the city, talk to Realtors and colleagues, and make an informed decision. Informational sessions on housing search strategies for the metropolitan area are also available. For more information send an e-mail to WorkLife@worldbank.org. or call (202) 473-2245 to schedule an appointment.
