OSCARplus jobs taken before deadline?
I've been applying to a few jobs on OSCARplus and workstudy and I realize I haven't been getting some emails back in response to the applications I've made. Some have got back to me and some have not, yet anyways.

My question is, even though application deadlines have not passed, would the employers on oscarplus or workstudy already hire someone?

If so, then they should at least take down the ad, no? Its just time consuming to be writing cover letters and stuff only to find out they've already hired someone.

What do you think

Companies/businesses sometimes look at the responses 1 week into the posting, sometimes 1 week before closing, and some after the closing (some times several weeks after). It's ALWAYS a bonus to put your resume/letter in asap! Don't wait!

Out of the 15+ jobs I applied to on Oscar, only 1 said that that I was "not selected for the interview", all the others still say the application is pending even though I know the jobs are filled.
