Work for the world bank?

Tweet

Howdy, I'm an economics major, and I graduate in May of 2010. I would like to work for the international monetary fund, world bank, united nations, or any government agency that can use economics to aid in development. How do I get there????? As of now, my only idea would be to read read and read, so in th event that I have an interview, I can clearly express my ideas, and show that I am well versed and informed. My resume is pretty good in terms of experience, but and my GPA is like a 3.0...which is OKAY For some strange reason, I feel as though thats not enough. Like I need some really strong connections just to have a chance. Do you know anyone who's worked for a reputable gov't organization? Was it hard for them to get into? Thanks! :)
