So about yesterday interview...
I met the Paulinus guy. I was the first to arrive the venue so I didn't know where to cue even. So I courageously inquired " Sir please where......" the guy collect me sharp sharp "Oga you can't be seeing me working and you are asking me question..go down there and que " For my mind I be like "What could have cost this man to simply say go down there and cue?"
I just feel the man needs help psychologically.

So after much arrangements of documents I was ushered in to sit down at the waiting section.

The the VO signaled me through the glass and I walked to the cubicle.

Frankfurt is the financial capital of Germany and it's about 116km from my school. 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. In 2016, Germany recorded the highest trade surplus of $310b making it the world largest capital exporter of the year. Her major export partners being the European and the US. Namibia was a German Colony from late 18th century.
Forest dominate the southern region where I am heading with the popular Black forest in Badden Wuttenberg. The weather is largely temperate. The famous Neuschweinstein castle located in my state is attract 2million people annually on tourism. Lest I forget...Pope Bernadicth XVI is also from Bayern where I am heading which explians why it is dominated by 60percent Catholics.

Me: Have a nice day Ma.



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!

Harryokoli:
Please I want to find out which of this schools is a better location,if you intend getting a job with a poor command of German language

Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt
Fhws Schweinfurt

Highbeeyajibola:



I don't believe job should be the major reason for choosing location, u should be more concern with the course modules of each school u hv d admission o u can easily blend with, so u won't have issue with. Job will come automatically as u blend into the system

Harryokoli:

Thanks for your reply,what if I tell you the course modules are same....please I want to find out about the two cities Ingolstadt and Schweinfurt mbok.

phodio:


Very very high. Just search for your schools and have all necessary documents ready with you. Aside certificates, one crucial document is your transcript. You just have to find your way through getting the hardcopy legally or illegally. Good luck
