How about you be a human being and give those people some grace. They are trying to find a job in this economy. Put yourself in their place.

Then send it. You do when you can. But it might get lost in the Monday morning mailbox mess. You might set your email to send when it might be received and opened. Some research somewhere said the best time is Tuesday mornings. Good luck!!

Not per se but I typically wouldn’t send them over the weekend, if only because they will be received on Monday morning when the person is trying to dig through all of the other emails that came in over the weekend.

What if I just go wait outside their apartment for the weekend, but just until I see them come in/out?

No because I’d never see them until Monday.

Recruiters do it too, so it goes both ways. I just received an email on Saturday from a recruiter about a new gig. I replied today (Monday).

Wow. You’re a baller. If I don’t respond within ten minutes of a gig email I just assume it’s been filled. Hope you got it!
