taotluskirjaks

Taotluskirjaks is an Estonian term that translates to "application letter" or "cover letter" in English. It is a formal document submitted alongside an application for a job, a program, or any other opportunity. The primary purpose of a taotluskiri is to introduce the applicant, express their interest in the specific position or opportunity, and highlight their relevant skills, experience, and qualifications that make them a suitable candidate.

A typical taotluskiri follows a structured format. It usually begins with the applicant's contact information, followed by the date and the recipient's details. The letter then proceeds to an introduction, stating the purpose of the letter and the specific opportunity being applied for. The main body of the taotluskiri is where the applicant elaborates on why they are a good fit, referencing their resume or curriculum vitae. It allows for a more personal touch, explaining motivations and aspirations that might not be fully conveyed in a resume. The conclusion typically reiterates interest and expresses anticipation for an interview or further discussion.

The content of a taotluskiri should be tailored to the specific application. Generic letters are generally less effective. It is important to research the organization or program and understand their needs and values to effectively demonstrate how the applicant's profile aligns with them. A well-written taotluskiri can significantly enhance an application by providing context, personality, and a persuasive argument for the applicant's suitability, thus increasing their chances of being selected.
