Is it bad to apply for too many jobs?
Generally speaking, it's a good idea to apply for as many jobs as possible to increase your chances of landing a position so long as you're able to devote a good amount of time to each application and cover letter.
How many job applications is too much?
Sending out 10 to 15 quality job applications per week is a good target. This means you should be applying for roughly two to three jobs per business day. The most effective way to organize your job search is to set a schedule each day for the time you only focus on your job search.
Is it bad to apply for a job multiple times?
Nope. If you're hoping to send multiple applications for the same job, typically the applicant tracking system (ATS) won't even let you do this—you'll likely get a notice saying you've already applied.

It's clear from this that while an hour is deemed too long, a good time to really focus on a good application is between 30-60 minutes.
Can you reapply for a job you rejected?
When to Reapply After Being Rejected
Typically, it doesn't make sense to reapply until at least a few months have passed since your initial application unless you have gained additional credentials that would better qualify you for the job. If you have new skills or experiences, it can make sense to apply sooner.
