Definately a work related writing sample and if you can, try to tailor it to the job you are trying to get. for instance, we require our public relations folks to submit writing samples. The samples are stronger if it is something they did for a press release vs a technical document. If you don't have a work related document then a document that you did for a volunteer activity would suffice. Also, don't be surprised if you are asked to do an exercise where you have to write on the spot. Too many people fake work samples.
I nevah, evah, evah send salary information before an interview and nevah evah put it on an application. If the ad says "resumes with out will not be considered" I will place something like "Current total compensation package is in mid $60,000". There are some recuiters that will discard you for not including salary information, but I think it puts you at an unfair competative advantage. If you must, definately put it on a spare sheet. Resumes are passed around and you don't want everyone you are interviewing with to know your salary. You may also want to include things like bonuses, other persk and your benefits package if it was exceptional, because that will play a part in your discussions with them.
