If you think about it, the English word apply, in the pure sense, doesn’t have much to do with a job search. Think about to apply pressure – apply means to put pressure or to give attention to something.
Hebrew approaches the job application from a different angle: להגיש מועמדות[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/להגיש-מועמדות-#.m4a” /] is the term of choice, meaning literally to submit candidacy.
For example:

Have you applied yet for the job, Rachel?
