Here's a trick for you:Save what you type in to those boxes in a word file.
Then copy and paste for each proceeding job form.
You can usually paste them in and only need to make minor alterations to make them fit.

I do save them all and do that whenever possible, but I reckon they can probably spot canned answers.But trying to make them specific to the firm takes AGES. There's only so many pages of a google news search I can go through.

What's the different between a MRes and a Masters?Google suggests there are some MRes Economics, but they seem like they're aiming you at an academic career.

It is tough out there at themoment. I've been made redundant 3 times in 12 years, and despite having a proven track record as an automotive and areospace engineer, spent the last couple of years counting stock in a clothing warehouse. I now work in a gallery.
Firms get so many applications these days, (I know we do, and we don't even have any jobs going). All you can really do is get your spelling right, don't appear over or under qualified and hope for the best.
