Structuring application form - help!

I'm currently applying for a 'perfect' job. I exceed the criteria in terms of qualifications (not to the extent where it would hinder me - all my qualifications are relevant to the job). At the minute I work in the general profession, but this is a more specialised role in something I do now and again rather than it being my bread and butter.
Anyway, the application form is fairly simple. It asks three questions - each requires you to provide a detailed response for how you meet the criteria. One is about working with the public, the next is about working as part of a team, and the third I can handle if I work out how to answer the first two!
How do you think the answers should be structured? I have gone through in date order my employment history, and for example, said what i did and then say i dealt with the public, but I feel like I'm doing myself an injustice. I think I am going into too much detail about what the job entails, and not enough about answering the question! Any advice anyone on structuring open questions in an application form?
