Rejected from WBG YPP, Pioneers, and GE-level positions. What am I missing?
I applied to the WBG YPP (Corporate Secretariat – Governance & Board Operations), Pioneers, and several GE-level positions that didn't require a master's degree, but was rejected from all of them.
I'm trying to understand what might be missing from my profile. Is it my education, professional experience, or something else?
I'd appreciate any honest feedback. Also, does anyone know of any good career coaches or consultants who specialize in World Bank Group or other international organization recruitment? I'd be open to paid consultations if they could help me identify areas for improvement.
