Brief Writing Sample

[Airhog]

Im applying for a summer job that requires a brief writing sample. I looked it up and found out that a writing sample is 3-5 pages. But im unsure how long a brief sample should be. Im thinking 1-2 pages at most. Does that sound about right?

It should be about as long as the threadkill :D

It doesnt give a topic. The position is with the Water Resources Board.

I plan to write about the importance of Water Quality.
