Germany is the founding member of the European Union in 1958 and the 3rd largest export and importation country in the world. About 90% of German companies belong to the German "mittlestand" Which are small and medium sized enterprises mostly family owned.

I didn't check time but the interview didn't feel like one. I read like someone looking for lecturer work because i had more than enough time to prepare coupled with different interview reports I got here. I was scared not leave any stone unturned. Read GMATS Cox I am going for engineering plus I already did Mechanical Engr here so I gat no excuse to fail their maths test if e show.
Read virtually everything readable with facts and figures! Rivers. Political parties, their colours and number of registered voters. Busiest airports in Germany. My states facts and figures. I even studied about 12 major companies in my state and what they are into. Studied the ones trekkable from my school (about 6 of them) cos I was waiting for "Tell me facts about the city you are going...blablabla.

Tips: Package facts closely related to the course you are going for. (I talked about business and entrepreneurship more because my course is Business and Engineering) E dey make them believe you.
Also talk about facts about the state you are going....when they ask you what you know about Germany.

In all....I was so relaxed. I never felt I was being interviewed. I guess that helped me recall a whole lot I read. #Grace.

I arrived at Island 01/08 against my appointment on 02/08 and settled down in a hotel " *New World Inn*". Where I never slept throughout the night for the fear of village people fanning me till I wake up by weekend! It was nice with interior wallpaper and steady light. Thanks to @Alphapen Aka Musqit Azeez and Oga Shegun aka Baba for the boys! For taking the pain to get me settled after my long-picky hotel search. Wahlahi good people dey nairaland. I mean people wey pass you for level yet them humble to the core!
If necessary...I will add few more facts about Germany so here can be a hub.

Shocker: Them know about this dollarsewuosewaland (I know why I typed it so) please be careful what you post. The VO said " I have been interviewing people for years and I know you people go-to NNNNLLLL and cram and cram. So it made me drift from the usuall answers and went to different trajectory. But if you no read how you wan take do?
Its better to do your part well enough then hope for Grace than the opposite.

God bless Us all and grant our good wishes. Amen!

Read virtually everything readable with facts and figures! Rivers. Political parties, their colours and number of registered voters. Busiest airports in Germany. My states facts and figures. I even studied about 12 major companies in my state and what they are into. Studied the ones trekkable from my school (about 6 of them) cos I was waiting for "Tell me facts about the city you are going...blablabla.

Tips: Package facts closely related to the course you are going for. (I talked about business and entrepreneurship more because my course is Business and Engineering) E dey make them believe you.
Also talk about facts about the state you are going....when they ask you what you know about Germany.

In all....I was so relaxed. I never felt I was being interviewed. I guess that helped me recall a whole lot I read. #Grace.

I arrived at Island 01/08 against my appointment on 02/08 and settled down in a hotel " *New World Inn*". Where I never slept throughout the night for the fear of village people fanning me till I wake up by weekend! It was nice with interior wallpaper and steady light. Thanks to @Alphapen Aka Musqit Azeez and Oga Shegun aka Baba for the boys! For taking the pain to get me settled after my long-picky hotel search. Wahlahi good people dey nairaland. I mean people wey pass you for level yet them humble to the core!
If necessary...I will add few more facts about Germany so here can be a hub.

Shocker: Them know about this dollarsewuosewaland (I know why I typed it so) please be careful what you post. The VO said " I have been interviewing people for years and I know you people go-to NNNNLLLL and cram and cram. So it made me drift from the usuall answers and went to different trajectory. But if you no read how you wan take do?
Its better to do your part well enough then hope for Grace than the opposite.

God bless Us all and grant our good wishes. Amen!

Ogaaa wetin I do you? I be d hold myself from laughing immediately i sighted that you are a comical human being up until i got to the emboldened. Thanks for lightening up my mood and taking your time to share.

Try writing to your school to extend deadline.

I didn't check time but the interview didn't feel like one. I read like someone looking for lecturer work because i had more than enough time to prepare coupled with different interview reports I got here. I was scared not leave any stone unturned. Read GMATS Cox I am going for engineering plus I already did Mechanical Engr here so I gat no excuse to fail their maths test if e show.

thanks but currently they are not giving appointment anymore... that is my challenge, and the risk of cancellation i may not get any date and that may be disastrous for me. initially i taught the embassy gives appointment according to the date of enrollment in your admission letter but i was so surprise when i saw the appointment mail.

i even applied on time immediately i got my admission letter from my school which was in 26th june and i applied 29th june so i was so surprise.
i just wish i could get an early date becuase i was shock about the person who applied just yesterday and was given 18.09.2018.

September 6 people please let’s hook up
