Our mission is to provide efficient, targeted help for specific parts of your application rather than broad, unfocused review. That's why you get 8-10 minutes for your targeted question - this format matches the focused nature of the advice you're seeking and ensures everyone gets meaningful feedback.

Before your session:

Choose the exact material you want feedback on - resume bullet points, cover letter paragraph, LinkedIn post, personal statement section, etc.
Write down your specific question word-for-word: "Which version sounds more professional?" or "Does this show impact or just list duties?" Here is a link with some sample questions you may ask.
Prepare 2-3 versions if you want to A/B test different approaches
Type your material into a document that's easy to share on screen
Practice explaining your question and context clearly
Test your technology (camera, microphone, screen sharing) a few minutes early

During your session:

Take notes on the exact advice you receive
Ask follow-up questions if feedback isn't clear
Give honest, helpful feedback to others about their resumes, emails, essays, or whatever they bring
Record specific suggestions you can actually implement

After your session:

Review your notes within 24 hours while the conversation is fresh
Implement the feedback that makes sense for your goals
Apply lessons you learned from reviewing others' materials to your own application components

Give real feedback to others because this makes you better at spotting problems in your own materials. When you help someone improve their resume or reword a cover letter, you learn to catch those same issues in your future drafts.
