面试; "noodle test"! Yeah, that's a pretty good description of "interview".

This is an example of a distinction that is lost due to the use of simplified characters. The traditional character for noodles is 麵, with the radical 麥 (mai-4th tone), meaning "barley/oats" (i.e. grain), and with 面 as the phonetic component.
In this case, 面 means face. An interview is a face-to-face, or in person, "test."
In context, yes it should be understandable, but in a strict translation sense, I believe the correct way to express "I will have an interview tomorrow" is 我明天會有一个面试

Not just should be accepted, but that is the correct answer because the tine frame is tomorrow.
"An" is used before words that start with a vowel sound, and "a" is used before words that start with consonent sound.
