The request to automatically apply if there is only one resume was added into the code a couple of months ago. I would like to respectfully request the option to for administrators to choose between the two modes, (automatically apply, or take to a list of resumes, where user has the option to create a new one), or for a reversal of the previous patch. My reasoning behind this is that, many people will want to create several resumes, tailoring each of them to the specific job they are applying for. If they have created one resume for Job A, and then click to apply to Job B, currently it automatically uses the resume from Job A. This could hurt an applicant's chances, especially if the application ends up saying something like "I'd love to work for Company A". So, from a user-interface perspective, I think it makes a lot more sense to take the user to a list of his/her resumes, with an option to apply using their current one, or to create a new one.

Easy Fix.
In Job.module

comment out lines 288-290
// if(count($resume_list) == 1) {
// drupal_goto("job/apply/$job_nid/$resume_nid{$resume_list[0]['nid']}");
// }

2) how to limit the number of resume a user can create
