My interview .

The interview went well for both sides; they asked me a lot of questions and I answered well in my opinion. Both Ahmeds asked me a lot of questions that I can answer fluently except one that I couldn’t answer because I didn’t go through it; moreover they were organized and knew what to ask. I was a bit nervous at first but later on it was easy to deal with it. It’s a practice for the real life.
