You have to think about many things when applying for a new job.
Do you possess the right skills? Is the right move in your career? Should you aim for a better salary than what is offered?
But one of the things that people often do not consider is the time when they should send CVs to increase their chances of gaining this job.
According to a new study, run by Job Today, the best time to send your CV is at 9:00 am on Wednesday.
Why? Because, apparently, 17% of employees decide to publish new jobs Wednesday, and 47% of job applicants are invited for an interview within 24 hours of the vacancy announcement on this specific day.
Researchers also found that time 13:00 is the peak time for people looking for new jobs, while millennials are the group of the most active people when it comes to searching for a new job.
Among others, women have 20% more opportunities to look for a new job compared to men.
Co-founder of Job Today, Polina Montano, says: I would always advise you to be enthusiastic and start the day looking for a new job. "
"Our perception is that during lunch time on Wednesday, employers will start receiving a variety of applications, so be first and distinguish them from others."
And he is right, if you look at a job that suits you, do not wait all day to apply. It also emphasizes that using your initials of CV's surname can increase your job interview opportunities, but using the abbreviation of the name on your CV can create obstacles.
This is because according to Dr. Frank Nuessel, a onomastics specialist, makes use of cuts to look more open and friendly, while women choose to use their full name to design a more professional image.
