Is There a Bad Day to Apply for a Job?

 The short answer….no!  I think there’s this myth out there that if you apply for a job on a Monday or Friday, the recruiter might be in a bad mood and “ding” you.  Not true.  Just because you apply for a job on one of those days doesn’t mean the recruiter will review your resume as soon as you hit the SEND button.  Recruiters work the task of reviewing resumes into their schedule just like they do every other aspect of their jobs.

If you’re qualified for a position, the only bad day there is to apply is the day you don’t apply!

Until next time….
