you need to look at what they want - job spec/description

list your attributes acc to what they want and demonstrate that you have the skills they need

put some "hinterland" stuff as well as interest in school

Sell yourself!! and don't be shy.

good advice from Bundle, would also add, that often it is very easy to assume that readers of app forms know what you mean or what your job entailed, but they don't. Be explicit, be project orientated, achievement and results based, as well as highlighting routines and stuff.

Good luck.
