filling in application form

[mcmiller]

Im applying for a job at our local council,licensing officer position, and to apply for the job i need to fill in an application form(god i hate filling in application forms), most of it is prity easy apart the obligatory section that asks about experience, abilities and suitablilty also reasons for applying for the job.
Does any have any good suggestions about what to write here as im rubbish at stuff like this

Just think of a few of the main duties of said job, and write about why/how you think you'll be good at doing them

Reasons for applying for the job - Well, why ARE you applying for the job?
Experience and suitable abilities - You must have something relevant here or you wouldn't be applying...

It's often the case that people get flummoxed by these kinda questions, but if you take a step back and think about why the job caught your eye in the first place, you'll very likely find that all the answers are there already!

Say you love helping people, no matter what job it is, it always goes down well

Never mention the money, they already know that

ok this is what im gonna right if any one has any good suggestions then tell me please
I have had very varied job roles, my current job is a sales admin working for **** through *****
This is a fairly varied role, the main duty of the job is to look after company clients. I look after 2 large companys which are **** and **** i also look after smaller companys located in wales.
The main duties of looking after these companys are inputting orders in a database (SAP), dealing with customer querys whcih range from being complicated invoice/credits which are in dispute, arranging and ensuring the customer gets deals whcih the sales rep has arranged for the customer and dealing with delivery discpencies and disputes which need to be dealt with quickly to ensure the client does not have to wait long for the products and that the company is paid.
This job role has given me excellent skills in dealing with customers at all levels, being able to deal with awkward and aggitated customers and to ensure that problems are dealt with effectively and quickly as possible.
I have excellent knowledge of microsoft office email.

im kinda stuck now on why i want the job and what makes me suitable for it any suggestion or constructive critism is more than welcome
