What recruiters actually look for
Journalist trainee hiring wants clips and ethical judgment. Show published or campus pieces with sourcing. Wasted effort: hot takes without reporting. 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.
