What recruiters actually look for

2D animator screens want acting and timing. Show a shot breakdown. Wasted effort: only rigs without performance. Studio and campus screens still reward ownership stories over tool-logo lists. Bring one artifact — case study, prototype, lookbook page, or critique notes — you can defend in depth.
