Recruiter Note (The Experience Gap):
Zero professional experience is normal at the intern level. Never score below a 2 solely due to lack of formal work history. Map academic projects, extracurriculars (college fests, clubs), and self-initiated work to these parameters. Value the quality of reflection over the quantity of experience. Look for raw intellectual curiosity as a proxy for hunger.
