What recruiters actually look for
Publishing associate screens want process care across proof stages. Show a production tracker. Wasted effort: only "love of books" without ops proof. 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.
