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.

"I've worked on many IT engineering projects. My specialty is optimizing networks, ensuring they integrate effectively with the organization's software and hardware solutions. A project that would apply to Cisco's IT environment involved migrating a data center from on-premises to the cloud. This required making sure that the network was optimized so that it was secure and there was no loss in performance. It involved implementing a secure data transmission network between the company's on-site datacenter and the public cloud which could not be co-opted."
