# Applications & Outreach (Stage 2)

Yes. Earlier in the day is generally better for applications — apply as soon as a job posts. LinkedIn data shows that Friday has the highest number of new postings with the lowest number of applicants, so Friday applications face less competition. For LinkedIn outreach messages, around 9 PM tends to get better responses since recruiters are more relaxed and likely scrolling their phones.
