Meet Mikaela, a graduate of Purdue University in Mechatronics. She tells us all about her career switch from working at Nucor, a Steel Manufacturing Mill to becoming an iOS Developer. Mikaela has even designed and has two apps available in the App Store.
The host Megan and Mikaela dive into details about what its like to work at a Steel Mill. Learn about the term ‘arcing steel’ and the embarrassing moment of showing up with an interview in a skirt and having to change into men’s clothing for a walk, DURING THE INTERVIEW! Coincidentally, Mikaela’s first job is actually at the same place as Megan’s first internship.
Mikaela has an interesting background that stems from her interest and continuous desire of being curious. She has a degree in Mechatronics from Purdue University that allows her the ability to be agile and switch career paths. As this podcast was being recorded Mikaela was switching careers. She discusses what the job search is like during COVID and how she created an app to help her search process!
