Demonstrating that you write well

Question

What evidence can you give that you are a good writer?

Short answer

Point to concrete written work and its effect: reports, papers, research notes or documentation that others relied on. Mention feedback or results (a paper published, a memo that changed a decision) and describe your habits, such as leading with the conclusion and editing for brevity. Your own clear emails and cover letter are also evidence.
