Tell me something about yourself that I wouldn't know from reading your resume.

The interviewer would like to get to know who you are outside of a piece of paper. You are certainly not obligated to discuss personal matters such as your kids or relationship status. Stick with a couple of fun facts to show the interviewer that you are a real person with varied interests outside of the IT world. Your answer should be memorable so that you stick out as a candidate for Cisco.

Focus on non-work-related skills or hobbies. For example, you might share that you enjoy beat-boxing or making origami swans. Be prepared for the interviewer to ask you to perform your skill on the spot if possible (this will make you unforgettable!)
