Here’s a tip- it’s got nothing to do with Gordon Ramsay. The answer is, of course, that they are both most commonly enjoyed on a Tuesday.
For the second year in a row Tuesdays were the most popular day for job applications. How do we know? As a leading recruitment software provider, we can measure the peaks and troughs of thousands of applications that pass through the Eploy system every day. Unfortunately we don’t measure pancake consumption, that was just an educated guess.
By the numbers
In the first three quarters of 2015, Tuesdays piqued Wednesdays to the title of MVD (most iceland phone number library valuable day). Mondays claimed the final place on the podium coming in just behind the leading two. It was mighty close though- the top three were separated by just 4%. Thursdays and Fridays trail the top three, rounding off the working week. Sundays won the battle of the weekend and Saturdays finish in last place, receiving over 60% fewer applications than mighty Tuesdays. Incidentally the stats from 2014 look remarkably similar, with Tuesdays also claiming the top spot.
