Excel, panel interview, and last interview with the board. It wasn't difficult but they asked tricky questions where I had to brainstorm using my college experiences and stuff. And they had to go through my CV to ask some behavioral questions. This was the most tricky part.
The whole RA hiring process was pretty fast, after got the initial email. There was an Excel exam followed by an online interview, with three people from the same division.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at IMF (Washington, DC) in May 2024
Interview
Was very straight forward and timely. Had to complete a test to confirm my excel skills. I recommend anyone interviewing here have past research experience in order to prepare you for the tasks you will be completing.
