-- Posted by MiSS SARAH at 5:55 pm on Sep. 18, 2008 I want to apply for some jobs online but my brother told me if I submit my application after 5pm I'm less likely to get the job. Do you think that is true? It's now 5:57pm where I live. -- Posted by reev at 5:56 pm on Sep. 18, 2008 It's on the internet, how could that possibly be true? -- Posted by neverjeeps 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. -- Posted by marshmellowman 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). -- Posted by NikkiMikki at 5:58 pm on Sep. 18, 2008 Just go to the place.. -- Posted by ilyjosh at 5:58 pm on Sep. 18, 2008 how the hell does that even make sense? -- Posted by grinzbie 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 -- Posted by MiSS SARAH at 6:00 pm on Sep. 18, 2008 Quote: from ilyjosh at 5:58 pm on Sep. 18, 2008 how the hell does that even make sense? 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. -- Posted by hI jAMES 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. -- Posted by kingduffy 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 -- Posted by espresso8097 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).
