The "most number of jobs"? Why, I've had several number of jobs at the same time! You may have meant "the most jobs" or, unnecessarily but still grammatically, "the largest number of jobs." If this was written by John Public, sorry for the gripe. But if you're Joe Professional Reporter, you might want to run your sentences past an editor more regularly.
