If the closing time has gone for job applications will my one still be accepted?

Question

I sent an email an hour before the deadline but forgot to add my application form to it. I have now just resent the email with my forms attached but am wondering if it will be accepted as the deadline was noon and it is now 5:20pm.

Answer 1

Luke,
generally speaking companies are pretty good about situations like this. I would recommend you try to call someone in the HR office to let them know of the oversight, but emphasize that you want consideration based on the fact that other materials were sent in "on-time". A little courtesy will go a long way in this; however, don't grovel, professional without showing "need".

Best of luck - like the clown nose!

Answer 2

I guess it depends on how nice the company is and also if your application is strong enough to consider. Also you might be lucky if it's a situation where the applications all go into a specific mail inbox and the inbox is not checked immediately at the deadline but the next working day. Got everything crossed for you.... Good luck!

Answer 3

I doubt it, you should have put a little foot note to the resent email

Answer 4

Don't get your hopes up..
Employers nowadays can pick & choose to their heart's content, so if they want to play things 'by the book' you're stumped at the 1st wicket.. Hopefully not in this case, but be prepared.

Answer 5

It's not likely that they'll consider you for the job. By not including your application it shows you don't pay attention to detail, and by resending it late, it shows you aren't punctual. Better luck next time.
