The Famed "T" Letter

["J. Ressler" <jressler -at- ewa-denver -dot- com>]

I sent my first "T" letter out on Friday as I begin my job search again 
(my current company has failed to secure more contracts). I really like 
how it addresses the requirements versus my qualifications, and 
definitely see how it generates more interviews.

This may be a little too specific but, I really hesitated to send the 
letters out on Friday afternoon before the long (US) Memorial Day weekend.

When you are submitting applications/resumes/T letters,  do you consider 
the time of day and day of the week which you submit it?

Also, I have been referring to the "T" Letters as a "Letter of 
Application" (such as the filename). Is there better nomenclature?

My thought process is that when an individual returns from a long 
weekend, there email may be abundant, so they may dismiss your email 
quickly. This is similar to the traffic on TechWR-L...there is much more 
traffic on Thur/Fri than there is early in the week. It seems people 
have more time to deal with information that is outside of their normal 
scope later in the week. I think it is more less of a drive to deal with 
real work later in the week but...

All input appreciated.
