What recruiters actually look for
RA hiring wants reproducible notebooks and troubleshooting. Show a figure you generated with methods. Wasted effort: technique laundry lists. Campus and industry screens still reward ownership stories over certificate lists. Bring one artifact — lab notebook excerpt, batch record note, case log, or internship report — you can defend in depth.
