Apts Walking Distance to SJ Cisco

Hey there,

So if you are looking to live in walking distance to Cisco SJ, I suggest taking a look at the NorthPark apt complex. http://www.rental-living.com/northpark.aspx

I lived there when I was an intern in the summer of 2005. It has a gym (though Cisco does as well for you all to use), pools, park, running track, and a Quiznos and Starbucks in the complex. It pretty much rocked.

Its about .25 miles from the center of Cisco where John Chambers, CEO sits....

PS- John Chambers will be hosting the keynote to welcome you all to campus on Jun 21 in SJ. Ed Paradise, area VP will lead up the RTP kick-off and Alan Kirby, VP in Boxbourogh.

Transportation-- San Jose

I know that it can be hard to work out transportation in a new city! Especially in San Jose where traffic can be tough.

Cisco offers all badged employees in San Jose, unlimited rides on the lightrail (VTA) through the use of an EcoPass. This is the public transportation option in the San Jose metro area. On your first day of work, you may visit building 9 to obtain your Cisco badge. While you are there, try to also pick up your free EcoPass.

When looking for places to live, it might be a good idea to ask if they are located on the lightrail (VTA). There is literally a VTA stop in the center of Cisco's campus. It's awesome!

Thanks,
Amber

Dress Code @ Cisco

Hey there! I was reading through the comments on the blog and I thought I would address a few things... My name is Amber and I am the internship coordinator at Cisco, and you will be hearing a lot from me this summer!

Dress code at Cisco (pending your manager's discretion) is business casual. However, if you are interning in finance, marketing, or Sales, I would recommend wearing business attire. On your first day, I recommend dressing well to make a great first impression.

If you have any other questions about attire, comment on this blog and I will def follow-up with you!

Thanks,
Amber

Come here to meet and greet other interns at Cisco. This is a great place to discuss where you will be living/relocating, and find out about other students coming to Cisco from your college campus.
