^^^Not everyone would benefit, because if a prospect actually read an essay that we wrote, they would consciously or unconsciously try to imitate the essay that we wrote, and they wouldn’t be themselves. They would have to try to find their own voice. I know, because my English teacher tried to be helpful by showing us some old app essays, and my first essays sounded exactly like those. Not good when you’re trying to convey personal voice.

The key to finding personal voice I think is to keep rewriting your essay and finding who you are … what you like about life.

So if prospects want help, we can help by having them PM their essays to us so that we can critique them. I think that’s the best way to go for helping people out … that worked for me!
