I'm trying to get my foot in the door in terms of professional programming. Haven't held any kind of IT job before - no degree or anything like that. Know enough general programming concepts to get by. C# is my primary language, but I'm pretty capable in anything once I get around the syntax nuances.
Recently got asked by a recruiter to submit some code samples - they're being vague on what exactly they want so I thought I'd ask around. What do you guys normally submit to exemplify your work to a prospective employer? What would you look for if you had to go over an applicant's code? I figure this is basically my only chance - my resume looks like crap since it's full of non-IT employment history and zero higher learning.
If you're not a troll why you have not taken a look to whatever the enterprise you are applying for does yet?
By the way fibonnaci sequences always fill a gap.

"[IT Recruiter] is a professional recruiting firm headquartered in [City], [State], serving clients throughout the United States - from [State2] to [State3] - and specializing in the areas of information technology, accounting, and office administration [IT Recruiter] offers contract, contract-to-hire, and direct-hire staffing solutions to meet our clients' needs."
The folks I'm dealing with directly are just recruiters. The specific individual who's asking me for some samples is being frustratingly vague and hasn't really named company names. That's a good idea for some padding, at least, thanks.
Submit a recursive factorial implementation in Haskell.

Could not deduce (Floating anus) from the context ()
arising from a use of `sqrt' THE FLOATING ANUS
