This timing ensures your resume is seen while the hiring team is still actively building their shortlist. You can also improve your odds by reaching out to the right people. Intern Insider surfaces the recruiters behind the company roles so you can contact them directly to ask about the position or a referral, which materially improves response rates compared to submitting an application into a general queue.
