My kids never let me look at their work, but S did have D help him draft cover letters for his resumes for jobs. He did get 3 job offers, so I’m assuming they did things well between themselves. They are both good writers, with D being the better of the two (though she struggles with punctuation and some spelling–thank goodness for spellcheck).

I know people who have helped edit their kids med school application essays and personal statements. Our kids didn’t let us help with any app essays, but did get feedback from a teacher and friends on their college app essays.
