A rare and coveted job -- higher salary, growth potential, interesting work -- opened at my wife's office, and she was told it was hers if she just submitted the formal application. Wife struggles with procrastination so I tried to be helpful: "Want me to take the kids to the movies so you can work on application in peace? Skip my work dinner and proofread your resume?" She assured me she was on top of it.

She wasn't. She didn't open the job link until an hour before the hard deadline, at which point she learned the instructions were more extensive than anticipated. The clock ran out before she could finish.

1　on top of itはどのような意味でしょうか？
2　the hard deadlineはどのような意味でしょうか？
3　 the instructions were more extensive than anticipatedはどのような意味でしょうか？

以上、よろしくお願いします

2　the hard deadlineはどのような意味でしょうか？

　硬い締め切り　＞　ギリギリの締切日　（＝これ以上伸ばせない締め切り）

3　 the instructions were more extensive than anticipatedはどのような意味でしょうか？

　（申込書書き込みの）説明は、思ったより長いものだった（だから書き終わる前に時間切れになってしまった）
