I’ve noticed a lot of roles I apply to were posted 2–3 weeks earlier, and by the time I apply I can’t tell if I’m early enough to matter. Do people prioritize applying immediately now, or is that less important than it seems?

You have to apply as soon as it gets posted. Make sure you can get thru AI screening of your resume first though!

How?

Apply as soon as you see it posted. You don't want to be applicant #1,000. I have alerts set on all the job boards and a copy of my resume save on my phone so I can apply fast even if I'm away from my computer.

Timing is very important. I have multiple alerts set up and check all the job boards at least twice a day. You want to apply within a day or two of it being posted if you can.

You seem not to have any idea what’s been going on at these businesses. They posted their offers weeks ago.

I intentionally moved around in my field, chasing work with which I had little or no experience. And I still don’t know everything.

I have a formidable CV. I’ve often received invitations to work or interview for a position via email and phone.

Two times, twice, I was offered a job after their first choice didn’t work out.

If you stop applying you will increase your risk for remaining unemployed.
