As a rule I never apply for jobs that ask for fresh writing samples, but recently I saw an ad for a major jewelry chains website looking for someone to write product descriptions. As part of the application process they asked that candidates write a description for a ring on their site. The ring in question already has a description and is on sale. The company is well established and has stores across the country.
This ad got me thinking about possible cases where there could be an exception to this rule, like whether a company is well-established or not.
Has anyone had a case where they felt it was okay to do a fresh writing sample for a job and if so what about the job convinced you?
