Do you consider learning about new technologies if hired by Cisco a requirement or an opportunity?

"I am very interested in new technologies and current developments in the computer hardware engineering field. One of the reasons I got into this industry was to satisfy my curiosity about new technology and how it can benefit humanity. I take advantage of every opportunity to learn presented to me, both on and off the job. I read industry publications, blogs related to the work I do, and other materials describing developments in computer hardware design. I also stay close to the vendors I work with, both in my previous roles and if hired by Cisco, to understand what new products are in their pipeline and how I can incorporate them into my designs. I cannot imagine doing this job long-term using only the knowledge I currently have."
