I applied online when Microsoft's West African recruiter looked up my LinkedIn profile. I asked her a few questions about the opportunity, and she was very helpful. I applied and made the shortlist. The interview was scheduled on my campus. The process was fairly straightforward, as I made the shortlist for the technical interview. However, the interviewer contacted me later and asked about my graduation status, specifically if I already had my certificate. I told him no, since I was in my final year back then. I said it would be available in July 2019.

Fast forward to 2019, I received a link for the same opportunity but refused to apply, which would have sent me straight to the technical part. I had already been recruited by a local company during my last month and had agreed to work for them.

Tell me about yourself.

What technology (language and framework) are you most proficient in, and what projects have you undertaken in it?

How do you handle pressure? Are you part of any societies on campus?
