Everyone has an#IChoseCisco moment-the one where you knew, "This company is speaking my language!"

It's exciting when you find a place to call your own, where you feel like you belong and are accepted while you're being challenged to take the next steps in your career.  We recently asked a few of our interns in Canada if they'd like to share their#IChoseCisco moment -here's what they had to say:

Tianyi Zhang -Vancouver, Canada

Sales Development Intern -Commercial Sales

"#IChoseCisco because interns get to work on real company projects together with top company talent."

Mark Henderson -Toronto, Canada

Partner Sales Development Intern

"#IChoseCisco because... the views. Okay maybe not, I chose Cisco because as a first year university student, I get to be enrolled in an all-encompassing business experience that will provide valuable skills applicable to all of my future endeavors. Plus, this technology is changing the world and who doesn't think that's awesome?!"

Kirthi Maguluri -Toronto, Canada

Product Manager Intern -Women Entrepreneurship Circle

"Cisco is the hotbed of innovation and cutting edge technologies. I was amazed from the very first moment when I visited Cisco's new innovation hub in Toronto. I wanted to be a part of it and couldn't wait to learn about their technology. Moreover, after learning about their great mentorship and DevNet programs for interns, I knew that this company would provide me with invaluable work experience and skill-set to conquer the tech world. Cisco is more than an internship, it's a lifetime of an unparalleled experience."

Rika Tatami -Ottawa, Canada

"#IChoseCisco because I want to be in a workplace where I'm surrounded by challenging problems every day and be able to contribute to projects that have real business impacts!"
