Audit engagement
Full Application Package Audit
A line-by-line reading of your CV, cover letter, and personal statement before you submit—flagging weak claims, missing evidence, and tone mismatches for the panel you are writing to.
Who it is for
Candidates preparing a competitive job, graduate school, fellowship, or scholarship packet who want a second pair of trained eyes before the deadline.
Result you leave with
A marked-up package with prioritized revisions, a one-page audit memo, and a thirty-minute follow-up call to walk through what to change first.
Included
- Close reading of up to three core documents (CV or résumé, cover letter or statement of purpose, and one supporting essay or research abstract)
- Margin notes on clarity, evidence, redundancy, and fit with the stated criteria
- A written audit memo ranking issues by urgency
- One revised-structure outline if the narrative arc needs rebuilding
- A scheduled thirty-minute video or phone debrief
Not included
- Ghostwriting a new statement from scratch
- Translation between Japanese and English
- Mock interviews beyond the debrief conversation
- Guaranteed admission or job offers
Provider
Senior auditor with experience reviewing faculty hiring packets, postgraduate admissions files, and scholarship dossiers for applicants based in Japan and abroad.
