Hopefully, this post finds you well.
YourCareerDoctor wanted to share three tips that will speed up the time it takes to find your next job.
One of the most challenging things is to figure out when to search for jobs.
A recent survey found that most job seekers check their mobile device at least twice a day to search for jobs.
Does this sound like you? The overall goal is to have a successful search.
Here are a few tips to speed up your job search.
Best Three Job Searching Tips
- Tip 1 – Look for a job over the weekend – At least 50% of people find their jobs over the weekend. This means that Friday through late Sunday night is one of the best times to search for jobs. Most employers post on our job board during the week to ensure jobs are posted by the weekend. Focusing your search during this time can yield greater results.
- Tip 2 – Best time to search for jobs – Data from our job board shows most visitors tend to search for jobs between 7-9am and 9-11pm, Monday through Friday. These job seekers start and end their day looking for jobs. We recommend searching during these times or when you get a chance. Often, the competition for jobs can be intense. So, stay on top of things and search often.
- Tip 3 – Be proactive – Many job seekers report waiting between three to seven days to submit an application after finding a job of interest. Due to the long wait, many miss the opportunity to apply, as the job may close or the screening process begins. YourCareerDoctor recommends applying for the job soon after it is found. This advice assumes that you have taken time to tailor your resume and cover letter to fit the position.
As always, these tips are presented to help you have the best opportunity to achieve your job search goals. Hopefully, this post gives you some things to think about before you apply for your next job.

I don’t really get what you mean by being proactive. Do you mean I should in crease my consistency in job application?
Oops! I’ve been making a ranom job search without any significant result, maybe I’ll have to try these specified times I learnt now, and see how lucky I could be.
Greats tips I got up here!
The current firm am working with operates mostly during the weekends and that tend to tie up my time and opportunity to search and applying for jobs. As stated above, most job adverts are made during weekends.
Do you necessarily need to drop my job to focus on the new applications?
These are really helpfull thanks!
