I was reading Four Tips to Help You Stay Sane on Your Job Hunt over at Today’s Workplace and one of the tips caught my eye.

It was:

If you see a job posting that interests you, apply within 24 hours.

I couldn’t agree more.

Given how stiff the competition is these days, you can’t afford to linger. Even if you are the “perfect” candidate for the position, the employer may find a candidate who is “good enough” and fill the position right away.

Don’t linger when submitting job applications. It might cost you the job!
