This topic has come up a lot lately...from the interview for the next BF podcast, to requests for members of the community who can write for Forbes...people want to see focused samples.
But it’s honestly not just about the samples.
They want to see that you’ve claimed a space. That you’re dedicated to something. That you take your freelance work seriously.
It doesn’t have to be a whole resume (I don’t think I’ve ever been asked for a resume as a freelancer.) A dedicated website, a LinkedIn profile...even just one, focused page on a site will work. But it needs to exist now.
