    I am interested is it just me, or applications become a bit easier to write down after you have had an interview at a firm? I'm not talking about copying and pasting (although I don't see an issue with using similar sentence structures), but rather the general flow of the application becomes more natural. Having practised all the competency, motivational and commercial questions for the interview - this is the situation I find myself in now.

    Yep! Generally, if you can write like you speak (i.e. how you would answer a competency question in an interview), it tends to flow a lot better. You'll be using simple language and you'll be showing off a little more of your personality as you write.
