hello,

so what if the employer puts through the schools OCI posting that they want a writing sample, but does not specify page length. think we can just use the shorter, 5 page writing sample we have?

i assume the best answer is prepare both..but my other sample (which is a bit above 10 pages) was horrible format wise, and unfortunately i do not have a final "edit" or proofread of the paper anymore..so if i edit it it has to be by myself...so i dont even know if i would be 100% right.

or perhaps they specify it somewhere less conspicuous??

short (fewer than 10 pages) is usually best. but it doesn't really mater because nobody is going to read it.
