A work sample helps you show, not tell, how good you are at doing your job. Some examples of a work sample include: Blog posts or news articles you have written Lesson plans for classes you’ve taught Paintings or sculptures you’ve created for past clients Product designs you’ve completed in the past

Work examples can be made up of writing samples, logos, videos, photos, apps, or any other tangible work product depending on your profession and industry. Along with examples of your work, include details about each sample, such as: Who the project was for When it was completed What your personal contributions were The goal of the assignment

Try to include samples that show a broad range of your talents. Depending on the industry you work in, work samples may include presentations, articles, brochures, reports or projects. For example, if you're an educator, you can include a lesson plan that went really well. You can also include any feedback that you received from your samples.
