This is a general question seeking to gain a better understanding of your background. Typically, the Cisco hiring manager already knows this information before inviting you to the interview. They hope to confirm their assumptions and hear you present your experience in your own words. Describing your experience provides the interviewer with a sample of your communication skills. They hope you can describe complex technical topics in easy-to-understand language. This skill enables you to collaborate effectively with other project stakeholders with limited technical backgrounds.
