Informal Request for a Graduate Role at the World Bank/IMF

Hi all,

I am a current student at a target university and have undertaken my final year dissertation with an organisation (think World Bank/IMF) and got to travel for a month with their employees across Asia for fieldwork. I got this project through networking and cold emailing. Now the project is complete, I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to politely ask about the potential for a full time role with them as I am about to graduate? I know they have an extremely competitive graduate programme but I am just wondering if anyone had any experience of asking for a position informally after conducting research with an organisation as part of their degree?

Thanks in advance!
