Tapif Lettre

application

Hello,

I just recently submitted my application and after reading comments from other prospective candidates, and their approach to the lettre de motivation, I'm feeling significantly less confident in the image that I decided to portray in my essay.

My essay was in itself, quite ethereal. It talked about what lead me to this point in my life, and how different factors from my own experience lead me to want this career choice.

I thought that it was honest and a unique portrayal of who I was as a person. And although I have many experiences with international communities, I chose only to talk about a mentoring position rather than honing in on these elements.

I feel like I missed the mark, and I guess I wanted some consolidation from people who either succeeded / turned in their application and are in a similar boat.
