"Now that I am to the midway point of my career, I am looking for my next move to be my final move in finding my work home until I retire. As a successful Financial Advisor today, I want to focus on continuing to grow my skills in advising clients on retirement and private wealth management and it sounds like I'll have that opportunity here at Export Development Canada. As I continue to grow in my skills and prove my worth to you, a long-term career goal is to be in management where I could oversee the work of Junior Advisors and mentor them towards success."

Well this job will be a horizontal move for me. My priority in the near future is going to be about gaining experience and knowledge in this field as much as possible. After this phase, I believe things will take their natural course in case a promotion opportunity presents itself.

I think it's great that you've emphasized how interested you are in gaining experience and knowledge, particularly since you're trying to enter a new industry. But you also show initiative and drive because you mention the desire to one day be promoted if the opportunity arises. Perfect!
