found this forum few days to my interview. interesting!
my observation today@ the embassy...
Our people are timid and can't put up a nice argument to support their points. communication barrier!
Even if you'r not confident bout your English, at least be reasonable, show some composure!
Others go for overkill, a certain guy, not DVC tho, kept dancing around n making all kinds of hand gestures n all...
Don't make it look like a big job trying to convince them.
Some other guy looked 35 and kept saying he was 20, who be fool!
A lady had her O'levels complete and yet couldn't solve a simple division.
If you highest level of Qualification is O'level, expect questions from there.
If a uni/poly certificate, expect to give an overview of your course(my CO didn't knw much about my course, so she asked for an overview)
invariably your project topic and what you did.
this thing(interview for DVC winners) is supposed to be like a walk-in-th-park.
One final thought: I observed they'r ever willing to issue out th visas..cheers
ALL THINGS ARE YOURS!
Thanks for your candid talk and 'eagle-eyed' observations. You know last time out someone was trying to make a case why the CO that interviewed him did not get him the pass. The guy's statements did not even convince me, the non-expert, folks here were calling for my head.
It is quite strange but everywhere that most Nigerian graduates do not know their onions-we blame who now? You only blame yourself when you want a job position in a set-up that is based on merit or when you get to the Embassy where when they want you to speak, you speak well and not pushing in your tiger paper. I did IELTS, last Saturday, you do not replace reading with writing.
