I agree with you Shannon, its always very much better to request for samples as to know what you'll expect when you finally give them the job. This is really a very brilliant post. Thanks for sharing this with the bizsugar community.

All excellent points! I'd only add one more: "Can you give us a writing sample right now?"

I'm always so surprised when employers don't ask a candidate to give them a writing sample right then and there. Give them a topic, maybe 10-15 minutes, and see what they come up with.

Granted, it may not be perfect with the limited time you give them, but it'll give you a much better idea of whether or not this writer will be a good fit for your brand, clients, etc.
