My First Interview Experience at Njala University

My first interview was a memorable day in my life. The day was so thrilling and memorable that
I can still remember it clearly. It all started when I send in my application for an admission into
the university. It was in September 28th 2021, that I went for the interview at Njala Campus. I
came along with my aunt for the interview early in the morning by a taxi. I entered the campus
with curiosity and I straight away noticed that I am in a new world.

At first I was confused as I have no idea to as where the interview was to be held, so I had to
ask for direction, where I met a very noble and well respected man, he was the one who gave
me direction to the place of interview. By then I met so many other people waiting at LR 12 for
them to be called for the interview. Lucky, my name was the last on the list so I said to myself,
let me be preparing while waiting for others.

The interview started at 12pm, our names were called according to the list which was with the
admin of School of Technology. I rushed to ask my colleagues whom have left the interview
room to know the nature of the interview and they all told me different stories. But I had one
believe which was no matter what I will pass through this interview. So I went back and waited
patiently for my turn. But because of the time they had to make us stand in a queue, as before
they were using the list to call our names, it was already getting late, and majority of the
interviewers were tired and we were so many left to be interviewed. That day I was nervous,
but I thought to myself to be as confident as possible.

Finally my turn reached, and I went inside, by the looked of things majority of the interviewers
were academic doctors and professors. When I looked around I saw the man who gave me the
direction to the interview place and I was surprised to see him there and eventually he again
happens to be the one to interview me. I was asked by him to show him my documents which I
did. Upon submission of my document to him, he asked for my name and what program did I
apply for. I then have to tell him my name and the program which I applied for. He noticed that
we have met this morning and he then asked me to write my name on the list which was
available for those of us who came for the interview and there ends my interview and I was told
I will hear from the university. I was very happy as I was nervous, but because of the faith and
prayer I was not asked a question.

I have to thank him and I went outside and saying thanks to God for a successful interview. My
friends that were outside have to asked me what were the questions that I was asked and I
have to tell them that I wasn’t asked any questions, and they all were surprised and said I am so
lucky and I smiled and I said good bye to them all.
