Does the Day of the Week Matter When Applying for Jobs?

Dear Experts, I read most responses for job postings are on Mondays and Wednesdays. Will responding on a Tuesday, Thursday or Friday get more attention? Weekends? Here is how the T.A.P. experts answered this question:@keppie_careersQ#143 Quality of materials, ability to connect your value to their needs R key no matter when U apply. @juliaericksonQ#143 Tues & Thurs my fave days 2 apply: Thurs b4 wknd, cd get 2 it Fri; Tues, Monday crush over. FU same days. @dawnbugniQ#143 Not exactally sure about rezs, but suggested to send eletters Tues/Wed a.m. 4 highest click through rate. @jtodonnellQ#143 - Monday is bad, hiring managers mindset is not best after the weekend - Tuesday early morning is best. @ValueIntoWordsQ#143 Suggest avoiding Mon/Fri - send Tues-Wed-Thurs (ideal), but there is no magic bullet. @kgrantcareersQ#143 I agree w @jtodonnell go for Tuesday. Mondays - ppl have 2 sort through weekend and Friday's unfinished stuff. @dawnbugniQ#143 Not exactally sure about rezs, but suggested to send eletters Tues/Wed a.m. 4 highest click through rate. @beneubanksQ#143 Being in HR, I'd say that it doesn't matter. Hiring mgr is always swamped. Applied for my job Mon 8AM. @keppie_careersQ#143 I do not suggest worrying about gaming system, there is no one RIGHT way/day that works for all.
