Today, we discuss which day of the week is the best for submitting your resume, or applying for a job, and how to assure you are among the very first people to see a new job opening in the field you want, and potentially apply before anyone else does.
So, what’s the best day of the week to submit a resume?
First, let’s identify the worst day of the week to submit a resume. Assume for a moment that the company you want to work for is only open Monday through Friday.
So, for obvious reasons, the worst day of the week to submit your resume or apply for a job is Saturday. By the time Monday rolls around, your resume is likely to be buried in the hiring managers inbox, and it may never be seen.
However, during the work week, Friday is the worst day to apply. Why Friday? Well, according to entrepreneur.com, Friday is the least productive day of the week at the workplace.[1] Meaning little gets done, especially the hiring of new employees.
So, what’s the best day of the week to apply for a job, or submit a resume? That would be Monday. According to a survey cited on LinkedIn, submitting your resume on Monday gives you at least a 10% better chance of getting an interview.[2]
Monday, unlike Friday, is the most productive day of the week at the workplace, and this includes the hiring of new employees.[3] But the time of day you submit your resume may also have an impact on your chances of getting a job.
You see, by submitting your resume late Sunday night, or early Monday morning, you’ve increased your chances of your resume landing at the top of the hiring managers inbox, on the most productive day of the week.
Now, Tuesday and Wednesday are also good days to apply for a job, or submit your resume, but Monday mornings reign supreme. In fact, a survey from MoneyPenny found that most employees, including hiring managers, are most productive on Mondays at 10:54 am.[4]
This means you’ll want your resume or application to hit the hiring manager's inbox, before 11am on a Monday. That is, if you want the best “odds” of being noticed.before11 am on a Monday. That is, if you want the best “odds” of being noticed.
However, all the rules go out the window when a new job is posted. When a new job is posted, the hiring manager is, at that moment, looking for resume or application submissions. This is why knowing exactly when a hiring manager posts a job (especially one you want) is so important.
