Hi guys,
I have had my Telephone interview. i had it 'bout a week ago. There will be an assessment test in Dubai on the 19th and 20th of February. If you have scheduled a telephone interview before the 19th please get your passport ready and be ready to get a visa to Dubai if u make through the phone stage. Well, the competitive part of the salary, , it is 38,000:00 (Thirty-Eight Thousand) Euros if u make it to Armsterdam then you would be relocated back to your home country after a year and paid according to the salary scale there. I tell you, the money is not the issue here, cisco is one of the best possible places to build a career. Wishing you all the very best while being anxious to get a response as regards my interview.

Dear
Thank you but my question is do i need to passy any fees for the assessment if i pass the phone interview

There is no Nigeria in the list of countries to apply to. COuld it be they are no more taking applications from Nigeria?
