Do you think that is true? It's now 5:57pm where I live.

Replies espresso8097 Posted at 11:06 pm on Sep. 18, 2008 I made first contact with my current employer after 9PM by email, got a reply 10min later.  For being a lifeguard it shows flexability in schedulu.  Good for many part-time jobs.  For professional jobs, will most likely not have online applications (resume and cover letter). brook Posted at 6:09 pm on Sep. 18, 2008 Post from this position was omitted due to content violations kingduffy Posted at 6:03 pm on Sep. 18, 2008 thats BS, it depends if yu post after the closing date not a certain time of the day hI jAMES Posted at 6:00 pm on Sep. 18, 2008 I doubt they care about the time.. lets say this guy knocks off at 11 AM to go home.  You would consider 11 30 AM early right?  Well, an application submitted at 5 PM wouldn't really matter much.  He'll see them both when we gets back.

He said since typical business hours are 9-5, it looks un professional if i apply after that...IDK it kind of made sense to me. grinzbie Posted at 5:59 pm on Sep. 18, 2008 Maybe in person it would look like you had less ambition with completing an application later in the day..but im not sure about online ilyjosh Posted at 5:58 pm on Sep. 18, 2008 how the hell does that even make sense? NikkiMikki Posted at 5:58 pm on Sep. 18, 2008 Just go to the place.. marshmellowman Posted at 5:57 pm on Sep. 18, 2008 I think they care more about the contents of your application than the time of day you submitted it (meaning it doesn't mean shit). neverjeeps Posted at 5:56 pm on Sep. 18, 2008 No, if you submit them then call the place and tell then you submitted it there is a greater chance they will call you in for an interview. reev Posted at 5:56 pm on Sep. 18, 2008 It's on the internet, how could that possibly be true?
