What recruiters actually look for

Copy editor screens test speed with accuracy. Bring a marked-up sample. Wasted effort: rewriting voice when asked only to correct. Campus and early-career screens still reward ownership stories over buzzword lists. Bring one artifact — clip, draft, research note, lesson plan, or campaign log — you can defend in depth.
