Writing samples

The 10x Resume writing samples page allows candidates to provide reviewers with examples of their technical writing.

Sample List

The writing samples page presents a list of the samples the candidate has prepared. Each sample in the list includes a short description and the size of the sample.

Clicking on a 10x Resume sample downloads the files to the browser. Reviewers can choose to skip large samples if their time or bandwidth is limited.

Selected Sample

Selecting one of the samples in the list navigates to a view showing additional details about the selected sample which may include documents shown inline or in a separate iframe.
