Cover letters

I am about to apply for an internal role that I really want! I have a lot of transferable skills and tick many of the requirements but I have never worked in this type of role before so I want my cover letter to really give me the right platform.

Any suggestions for a great cover letter to accompany my CV?

I’ve set out a cover letter recently with an opening intro and then about four/ five bullet point sentences to explain the transferable skills that I think make me a great fit. Use the job spec and ensure you highlight any relevant skills/experience you have that is listed as an “essential” or “desirable” on the spec.
