Gus’ comments were really clear and helpful – what I appreciated most was that he didn’t just make changes to my draft, but he actively explained what I would need to do to improve. I was grateful to have his feedback; Gus was thorough, precise and also supportive. I can’t thank him enough.

Gus’s feedback is incredibly helpful. Not only did he let me know what I had done right, he gave me clear actionable things to do to improve. These are things I would have never considered myself and I know I can do in future applications. I am grateful for his help and would definitely be using this service again next month.

The review by Jessica was very constructive. She gave me realistic expectations of how to answer the application questions which have certainly helped me while structuring my answers in addition to helping me maintain good presentation of my answers. These are skills recruiters look for in a strong application and I am glad Jessica made me aware about these small intricacies

Jaysen’s feedback was nearly perfect. His comments were so precise that I was able to make significant improvements to my previous draft. When I requested for an additional review from Jaysen, he even appreciated me for developing my answer and that it was much more clear to read. That proves how incredible and precise Jaysen was with his comments. Thank you Jaysen, I really appreciate your help!

Thank you so much for your time and efforts reviewing my application. It’s my first time using this service and to be honest, I’m not sure what took me so long! I’ll use this weekend to go through your comments and re-draft.
I am at a point where I can feel myself losing steam, positivity is running low, and I am lacking confidence – but I still want to make the most out of this cycle. So, TCLA is my crutch to get myself back to a healthier space.

I was really impressed by how quickly I received feedback. I sent my application to the team on the Thursday before a Sunday deadline. I knew I was cutting it a bit close but I put my faith in the one working day turnaround time. Like the absolute superstars they are, the team (Jaysen to be specific) sent me feedback on Friday which gave me enough time to tweak my application and send it off the next day. I probably won’t leave my review that late again, but I am so glad to know that if I was in a similar situation again the TCLA team has my back.

I originally submitted my application for review because of growing self doubt due to previous rejected applications, but Jess’ feedback has helped me identify how I can improve and has motivated me to keep going. Thanks TCLA 🙂

Feedback : Perhaps differently coloured text would be useful for different points of feedback, but it may just take more time than the value it brings. There are no other areas I think are in need of improvement. The terms are clear before submission and so is the timeline to expect the feedback. That is always very much appreciated.
This is a truly excellent service that is transparent from the start in terms of the precision of advice and the time it takes to relay it back to you. Jaysen’s advice was actually specific, making it obvious he and the team spend time reading your application. This was so refreshing in what has felt like constant encounters with repetitive advice that is so broad/vague you are left feeling frustrated. If you need a fresh pair of eyes before sending off an application I highly recommend this service.

Feedback : 1. Quality of the Review: I have been using TCLA application review service for a year. My applications were reviewed by different people in the application review team; however, quality is still at high standard regardless who reviewing my applications. I received constructive suggestion which is helpful for me to spot my area of improvement. 2. Excellent Customer Services: TCLA team clearly puts an effort and time when reviewing my applications as I can see from their specific suggestion, overall summary, and open opportunity for you to email back if any points are unclear. 3. Delivery Time: I also appreciate their commitment to deliver their review on time as promised even during the peak time of the application season. 4. Confidentiality: TCLA maintains very high confidentiality which makes me feel comfortable submitting for their review as I know my application answers will not be shared/ used without my consent.

Thank you for the detailed and helpful feedback on my application. I think this service truly unlocks a higher level of understanding of what goes into writing a competitive training contract/vacation scheme application. I received it in exactly 24 hours giving me more than enough time to take into account all the advice and comments and make the necessary adjustments.

Feedback : Worth a gold subscription or even the full price!
Emma’s review was highly detailed and gave me pause to consider how to approach applications in a general sense as well as the specific application I sent in.
She gave me over 100 comments for a 900 word application – the majority of which were again, detailed in their feedback.
