What recruiters actually look for
Model maker screens want craft and turnaround. Show prototype photos with process. Wasted effort: only outsourcing claims. 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.
