This is a typical opening question which the Cisco interviewer will use to start the conversation, learn more about your background, and collect information they can use throughout the interview. This question allows you to direct the interview towards topics and areas that you are comfortable discussing. The information you provide the Cisco interviewer will be used for subsequent questions, so make sure you only discuss items you are familiar with.

"I became interested in computers and engineering as a child. I have always been curious about how electronic toys and gadgets work and asked my parent's many questions about this while growing up. I joined the computer clubs and the robotics teams in primary and high school, which furthered my interest in technology. By the time I went to college, there was no question that I would pursue a degree and eventually a career as a computer hardware engineer. I am delighted with this choice, and I've never regretted my decision."
