I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Cisco
Interview
4 Parts to the hiring process:
1) Submit Application
2) Video on how the network is the platform. There's a ton of material to be found via google and youtube!
3) Phone interview. Standard interview questions like:
- time you showed leadership
- what you know about cisco / their products
- teleprecense
- Chat about past work experience
4) Full day assessment. They give you some prep material beforehand.
- Technical test (10 qs, multiple choice from a tech booklet they give you. This is simply to test if you read and understood the material they gave you)
- Interview: pretty much same as the phone interview but they may ask a few technical questions here or there.
- 10min presentation on a topic they give you
- Sales role play

Question 1
Sales role play was stressful. I spend as much time as I could preparing for it, reading case studies and getting any extra bit to give me an edge.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Doha) in Feb 2023
Interview
The process was very extensive with multiple interviews requiring alot of preperations. You need to have a decent networking background even as a fresh graduate. You also need to have a visibility on multiple cisco products.
