What recruiters actually look for
Reporter trainee screens want notebook discipline and verification habits. Show a beat story process. Wasted effort: rewriting press releases as original 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.
