    How can one thoughtfully apply for 50 jobs in one day without studying if its a good fit?
    Must be a typo surely, should be 5? For me I look at 2 things, rate and location, a close third is how locked down their web access is and can I work less hours without anyone noticing.

    Maybe she could charge them for it?
