Work Samples and the Non-Disclosure Agreement?

Posted by Cliff on from the rocks-and-hard-places dept.

ahowl asks: "At my previous employer, I signed a traditional NDA, and when I was laid off, I signed another agreement stating I wasn't taking anything with me that belonged to the company. This included all the scripts, stored procedures, and anything else that I had created while employed. However, most of the subsequent jobs that I was looking at wanted work samples. If this continues I could have a ton of work I've done that I can't show anyone, so what can I do?"

    And I'm not sure I'd hire someone who doesn't proofread, FOR FUN.

    Could you be a bit less vague? What's your point? Something about pig feces?
