What recruiters actually look for

Policy associate screens want brief discipline and source hygiene. Show a 2-page brief with options. Wasted effort: activism without analysis. Campus drives still reward clear ownership stories over buzzword lists. Bring one artifact — sheet, deck, ticket trail, or project note — you can defend in depth.
