Application process for Graduate roles

1. Application submitted online

   Thanks for applying! You should have received an email confirmation that your application has been received. We encourage you to explore our @WeAreCisco social media channels where we highlight employee photos and stories about working at Cisco. 

   Make sure your CV is up to date with your latest achievements. We don’t want to miss out on knowing all about you and what you have to offer!

2. Online assessment (for technical roles)

   Once we’ve received your application, we’ll review your CV and cover letter for eligibility and suitability for our graduate roles. If you are successful, you’ll be notified via email to complete an online assessment. 

   Set some time for yourself to go through some practice online assessments. Find a quiet space to avoid or limit distractions.

3. Webex/in person interview

   This process helps us get to know you, and for you to learn about our people, culture, and business. We'll evaluate your skills and experience against our current business needs. We'll ask you about your academic and work experience, and you can ask questions, too. Be prepared to tell about your achievements and the value you could bring to Cisco. 

   Practice makes perfect! Do some practice interviews with your family and friends and get constructive feedback on how you can improve.

4. Assessment Centre or Final interviews

   The Assessment Day may be in-person or virtual depending on location. You will engage in various activities such as information sessions, group case studies, 1:1 interviews, and possibly individual presentations. The exact experience depends on the applied role and business area.

5. Offer Extended

   Once interviews for the role have been completed, someone will be in touch via a phone call with the outcome of your application.

   Please note that this is our standard recruitment process. Some teams might have specific steps to complete outside these steps.
