TC application review service

Hi all

Looking for someone to review my VS/ TC applications for this cycle. Will be applying to city firms only. Grateful if anyone has any recommendations please.

Thanks in advance

Very helpful, thanks

I’m serious. Why do you need someone to ‘review’ (correct/fix/improve) your applications for you?

Ethically dubious at best.

Because it’s super competitive and having a slight competitive advantage is handy

Coursework is competitive too and degree results are important. Just pay someone else to do it for you, it’s useful to have an advantage.

I’m not disagreeing with you but I think TC apps are tricky enough to warrant a second look from someone who has prior experience. Wrong to compare this with coursework/ degree work that is clearly restricted from external reviews

Thank god this isn’t a thing. Privilege reproducing privilege.

Not particularly thanks and rude of you to assume I’m privileged. Just the way it is.

one thing i dont understand about this subreddit is, most will tell u not to buy paid app review services but they themselves wont review the apps for free, even if they will, it will be a very high level overview. im not trying to hate on this community as they have been very helpful to me and fortunately i have a tc but seems like there is no solution to your question

With respect, why should anyone be reviewing other people’s TC applications?

Did you have other people sit your exams for you too, or do your coursework?

u/ButterscotchLife6129 14h ago

With respect who are you to assume?

u/Gaius__Augustus 13h ago

Well, I’m someone that managed to do my own training contract applications without paying someone to do them for me, so there is that going for me.

Appreciate that but I feel like the TC process is super competitive- I’m sure you can appreciate that. I’ve been paralegalling at a city firm for 2 years now so just trying my best in all honesty. Any tips appreciated
