[00:01]
Write and step away
After writing down your answers, walk away from the computer for an hour or two to gain perspective.
[00:17]
Reread and check for mistakes
Come back and reread everything, paying attention to spelling errors and thinking about whether content should be added or removed.
[00:32]
Share with serious friends
Get feedback from friends who take things seriously, not the jokers. Ask one serious friend to review your answers.
[00:56]
Ask Senpai for feedback
Send a DM to Senpai with a picture of one of your answers for free, honest feedback—though not always timely.
[01:12]
Submit after a final review
Once you've reread everything and taken a break (preferably six hours later), hit submit and you're done.
The core takeaway is to never submit a job application immediately; always revise, seek outside feedback, and allow time to pass before finalizing.
