There are many different types of copywriters and many different types of copy to be written. There are copywriters who specialize in very specific forms of copywriting, such as direct mail or ad copy.

Employers do want to see clipsfrom you, sohave something to bring. If you cannot find a client who will accept work from a beginner, you can write up something of your own as a writing sample. This will not be as effective as having a published clip, but an applicant without writing samples would not be considered for a writing job.
