I will say, however, that I wish to keep my monthly expenses below $400, so any bids higher than this will automatically be ignored.

I also work full-time and will respond to all bids that have followed the directions laid forth. If you do not hear from me within 48 hours (business days only), please understand that your submission did not adequately meet the needs of this assignment -- OR you did not follow directions and simply told me "I can do it!" without taking heed to what I'm requesting. I cannot afford to send specific reasons why your submission was not accepted because responding to dozens of candidates is not feasible when I work 14+ hour days. All candidates who have followed directions and meet the needs of this job WILL be contacted. Thank you, VisionMediaInk / (A "Mam" NOT a Sir!)
