Interview Experience:

The interview was a great one. It was relaxing but at the same time it was challenging when I was put in different circumstances and scenarios to bring out my way of thinking. Speaking more about what I like doing helped me to get go calmly with the interview. There was no point in being anxious, which I realised and told myself to go steady and go with the flow. I also realised that a good, healthy and interactive interview depends on which direction or point of interest that you want the interview and the interviewer to be taken to.
