There is a questionnaire that must be filled out online to apply for a government job. When the announcement closes, the questionnaire will not let you register.
So if the announcement "closes" on the 3rd, a literal interpretation could be that the announcement "closes" on the second the day becomes the 3rd.
But I also assume "closes" to mean "ends" in which case the job announcement would end at midnight on the 3rd.
Let's hear your thoughts.
This should be an easy one.
If a job announcement "closes" on Feb 3, does that mean it closes at midnight on the 3rd, or midnight on 2nd?
It closes on February 3, after the business hours !!
The offices usually close at 5 P.M and it is in the interest of the applicant not to rush through in the last minute !!
Reply:in the real world that would be at close of business
in the cyber world that very well may be at midnight in the time zone it is posted. it could close at anytime on the 3rd since no time is listed.
why not just do what you need to do and not wait til the last moment?
Reply:iT USUALLY MEANS CLOSE OF BUSINESS THAT DAY
Reply:If it's for the federal government (e.g. positions on studentjobs.gov, usajobs.gov, or other federal government sites), then the closing time would be 11:59pm on Feb. 3rd. All the positions I've applied for have listed "11:59" as the time cutoff.
For other types of jobs, I suppose it will be at the end of the business day, which is usually at 5pm.
Hope this helps. God bless!
Reply:I would take that to mean that it closes at the end of business day on the 3rd.
Reply:It depends on the policy of the organization. Generally it would mean when the 3rd ends the position closes. But it could very well mean it closes at the "close of business" for that organization. That might mean 5:00pm and for the federal government it means the close of business on the East Coast.
Always read the job announcement carefully.
