We got 293 applicants in less than 96 hours from an ad for a writer...Agent 94 broke through the clutter doing what she did. Showing an employer you want to be there is very compelling...just like dating... @Lindsay…my take is that in this market, anything goes.

Personally, I would take that as a sign that the applicant is a bit scattered...not a positive for me.
