What recruiters actually look for

Policy associate screens want brief discipline. Show a 2-page options brief. Wasted effort: activism slogans without analysis. 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.
