It's an indication of how busy your future boss isand why they really need your services!
True story: I found my job on a website, the guy had advertised for a casual technician. I didn't read the advert until after the applications window had closed but since he put his company name on the advert... I looked him up, found out his details, sent an email saying 'Hi, I'm local. I know apps are closed but here I am anyway. Let's talk.' He emails me back with 'err yeah, come on in for a chat. Haven't actually read any of the 100 or so submissions.' 3 years and countless mental health days later, I'm still here!
