What recruiters actually look for

CAD associate hiring wants clean models and revision discipline. Show a part family with drawings. Wasted effort: pretty meshes that aren't buildable. 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.
