Organizations like Cisco prefer to hire candidates who are capable of leading teams of individuals similar to themselves. This indicates that the individual is willing to take responsibility for the team's productivity and effectively convinces others to do the work necessary to complete a project. They also can organize people, delegate tasks, and ensure a project stays on schedule and under budget. If you don't have direct experience leading a hardware development team, admit this and discuss your interest in receiving the necessary training from Cisco.

"In several of my previous jobs, I have been promoted to lead the team, which was something I enjoyed. This provided me the opportunity to develop my leadership, communication, and organization skills. I like leading teams because it allows me to better get to know each team member and understand their skills. I use this information to delegate the project tasks to the appropriate team member and create synergy among the team, so we accomplished a project on time and below budget."
