Saturdays are for searching for a job, but Sundays are the best day to apply. Why? Here are some Sunday job hunting tips

It's the end of another week, and you're looking forward to a relaxing weekend. Maybe you'll binge watch your favorite show or catch up with friends. Perhaps you have other plans in mind - maybe even looking for a job! Well, I'm here to tell you that if you're one of those people who are searching for employment on the weekends, there's an optimal time to do so: Sunday afternoon. In fact, Sunday is statistically proven as the most effective day of the week for applying for jobs online (and offline). So here are four tips that will help make your search successful:

Tip #1: Do your research

To start, you should do your research. It's important to know what the company does, what the job is, and what the job description looks like. This will help you decide whether or not this is a good fit for you.

In addition to knowing how well the role aligns with your skillset, it's also important to consider whether there are enough jobs available in your area. If there aren't many positions out there for that specific field then it may be difficult for you to land one even if you're qualified for them all!

If everything checks out then great! But if not then…

Tip #2: Update your resume and cover letter to highlight the qualities most relevant to the job

The next step is to update your resume and cover letter to highlight the qualities most relevant to the job you're applying for. If it's an administrative position, include some of your experience in office management or project management. If it's a creative position, highlight any projects you worked on that were particularly creative.

Once you've done that, make sure to include keywords from the job description in both documents - and not just at the top! You want companies reading resumes or cover letters to immediately recognize how well-suited you are for their open positions (and vice versa).

Tip #3: Review the job description and make a list of keywords that describe you

To be sure your resume and cover letter match the job description, review the job description and make a list of keywords that describe you. Then, read through your resume and make sure all of those keywords are included in some form on the document.

Use relevant keywords in your resume because employers use software to find resumes that most closely match their requirements. Also, include industry-specific terms so that recruiters know you are familiar with their industry or company culture (like "banking" or "finance").

Tip #4: Create a follow-up action plan for yourself

Make sure you have a follow-up plan in place.

You've sent your application, but what now? If you don't hear back from the company, start by sending a follow up email within 24 hours to thank them for considering your application and let them know that if they have any questions about it, they can reach out to you directly. If after that point there is still no word, follow up again after two weeks by sending another quick email saying "I'm just checking in on my application" or something along those lines.

With these Sunday job hunting tips, you'll be able to successfully land your dream job.

Here are some Sunday job hunting tips:

• Research the job description and keywords. You may be able to find out how many people have applied for the job by reading through the job description, as well as what kind of experience the company is looking for. This information can help you tailor your resume and cover letter appropriately.
• Make sure your resume and cover letter are up to date. Update your documents before applying for a new position so that they accurately reflect everything you've accomplished in your career thus far!
• Follow up with the employer after submitting an application or interview request. It's always a good idea to follow-up after applying or interviewing - it shows dedication on your part, and it helps ensure that no one forgets about you!

Conclusion

The bottom line is that Sunday is the best day to apply. It's a proven fact that job seekers who apply on Sundays are more likely to be hired than those who send in their applications during the week. So go ahead and give yourself an extra advantage by applying this weekend!
