When applying for a job using LinkedIn where it shows when the job was posted, does it matter if you apply in the first day vs after one week? Does applying earlier have better chances for a response? If yes, how?

In my experience, yes, applying earlier helps. HR teams don't want to talk to everybody. They want 5-10 talented candidates, and they'll stop looking at new resumes once they get to the number they're looking for. The sooner you apply, the better your odds of being one of those first 5-10 people.

The job will remain open in case nobody in that first batch works out and they need to start over.

Timing and relationships...those are more important than anything else (assuming you meet the basic qualifications for the job, of course).

I am Product Owner, and have an opportunity to change my Title to "Product Manager". The actual work I'm doing will not change significantly, it's just a Title change, since I've been working less and less with the scrum teams and doing more product analysis over the last year. My main goal with this is to ensure this looks good on my CV. My thought is a Product Manager role seems more senior to a product owner. Any thoughts on this and any advice on how to approach this? I'm based in London.

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation. So, I attended it yesterday and performed well by answering 90-95% of the questions. Even the interviewer gave good comments on my performance. But suddenly today I received an email that my candidature isn't suitable for the role and they're keeping my profile in the database. Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?
