Studies Show That No One Likes To Read Resumes on Mondays!

When is the best time to send out your field services resume?

Anyone who’s worked in an office environment knows that Mondays are usually extremely hectic. Everyone’s trying to catch up on their emails and phone calls, and there usually isn’t a lot of time to spare, especially on things that are not urgent, like reading resumes. The first thing most people do when reading emails is prioritize and figure out what needs to get done sooner rather than later – resumes, especially ones sent days ago, usually fall into the “later” pile.

The point is that you want to be sure that your resume is noticed. Sending them out on the weekend not only puts your email toward the back of the line chronologically, but it also puts it among the spam messages that have filled up the in-box, and you don’t want to accidentally get deleted.

The best days for emailing resumes is Tuesday and Wednesday. Stay away from both sides of the weekends when you can.
