Mentors provide unique insights and their own experience for the sole purpose of helping you succeed. Finding a mentor who is passionate about helping others can excel your career much more than you might initially imagine.

Some of the best things that have happened to me in my life and career are because of networking and communication! I love to meet new people and get to know them through various means. I have forged some lifelong friendships too. Networking is so important when you want to collaborate with different teams. With networking and collaboration, I was able to learn a lot of new processes that were not known to be before nor they were available as part of any training. I was able to innovate outside of my design scope to be able to create a solution for us to make layouts for our experiments faster and more efficient, I was even recognized in the Technology Development group for this innovation. You don't just have to network and create relationships and maintain them in a company - you can do this in all walks of life. I met some amazing people through various volunteer opportunities, community outreach that have helped me become a better person. Micron has so many opportunities to network with people. We have Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) like Micron Young Professionals, Pride +Allies, Black Employee Network, Women's Leadership Network and so many more... There are a lot of events and clubs for various hobbies and activities too. And if you don't find some particular group, you can always start one!

One thing that stands out in a candidate is their confidence and ability to own their prior experience. It is incredible to learn about the different paths everyone takes to get to Micron, so be sure to highlight those things that have gotten you to where you are! Unique experiences make for memorable candidates. Reach out to people when you can to build relationships, I know this can be challenging but having a personal connection is extremely beneficial. Utilize career fairs, networking events, and platforms just like this! For process engineers coming to Micron fresh out of their Bachelor's Degree, I highly recommend a Statistics class or any type of semiconductor/thin films courses. For technicians and equipment engineer positions, any hands on troubleshooting experience you have will be very valuable. This can even be troubleshooting related to your personal life (appliances, cars, etc.). We want to see how you think and troubleshoot!
