clip art
Every time you apply for a job, you have to include writing samples along with your resume and cover letter. But how many, and which ones? My favourite number is three: It shows a nice range without being overwhelming to the potential employer. The clips should be as closely related to the publication as possible – include a health article for a health magazine, a home decor story for a home decor magazine. Aim for a balance of long-form, service, well feature and upfront pieces. If the content isn't related to the magazine you're applying to, the format should be.
