If an application states that closes on Tuesday 12th, can you apply on the 12th or do you have to apply by Monday?

TIA

You can apply on the Tuesday

You can apply on the 12th.

Whenever a store says that they have something on sale from say, August 1st to August 12th, for example, that means you can still purchase the sale item on the 12th.

The closing date includes that day, so Tuesday is fair game. Just don’t leave it until the last minute in case the system crashes.

I would say 12th but I would get it in on 11th to be safe.

I would expect no applications will be accepted after the Monday.

Thanks all. I appreciate the responses.

Most job adverts have a time as well as a date so its really obvious when the deadline is, eg midday on Tuesday 12th, midnight on Monday 11th.

In my industry the standard for deadlines is "anywhere on earth", so as long as it's still Tuesday 12th somewhere on the planet, you would be okay.
