For those that don't know I am job hunting, got my degree so I'd better but it to good use. I applied for Cisco a while back and was told my application was successful and then I completed the BAQ test. I made it to the telephone and completed that that today, so for those people hopeful of finding employment I thought I would note down some of the questions I was asked to give you a heads up. Interview was split into two parts, first was straight forward whats your degree in etc, the second part was a competency based test, are are some of the questions, worded my way.
Give an example of a time when you had to overcome a challenge, elaborate on what you did, what the outcome was and what you would do differently.
Give an example of when you had to adapt to change.- Give an example when you had to change your approach to a problem, show flexibility, what you would do different (this was my worse question).
- Describe in non-technical terms a project that you worked on
- What trends are you seeing in technology today
- What challenges do you think Cisco faces in the future
- What Cisco technologies are you familiar with.
That is all i can remember now, the whole experience is a blur, I was on the phone for around 40 minutes and it flew by. Some of the process caught me out so I hope this can help you prepare.
Great, this has been a big help
ReplyDeleteHi, are you going to the Assessment Center? Do you know anything about it?
ReplyDeleteThanks and good luck!!!
I haven't been invited to one yet, though i email cisco regularly and they say they are still short listing.
ReplyDeletehi,
ReplyDeletehave you heard anything from Cisco yet? If so, did they call you or email you?
Thanks!
I haven't heard anything yet, though i can still log on to the graduate website. I was told this is a good sign, if you can not log on then better luck next time. It's a bit harsh in my opinion.
