I am back on the market after being laid off last week.

For the past few years, I've been burning several projects to a CD and
that's been received quite well. I'm working now with a group who
specializes in tech writer placement and who is urging me to build a paper
portfolio.

I would greatly appreciate feedback from the list regarding the best size
for a portfolio and how large samples should be. I have selected the
documents/help projects I want to use, as they reflect the range of my
writing experience. But how long should the samples be? How much paper does
a hiring manager feel is enough to get a feel for the skills of the writer
without providing more than is desired?

thanks,
Suzanne
