What Does My Application Status Mean?

Decode what your application status really means on Workday, LinkedIn, Indeed, and other portals.

You hit submit, and now you're staring at a status label that could mean anything. "Under review," "in progress," "no longer under consideration" — every portal uses its own wording, and almost none of it tells you what's actually happening on the other side. The result is a lot of refreshing and a lot of guessing.

This hub decodes those labels. Each guide below takes one status from one system — Workday, LinkedIn, Indeed, Greenhouse, and the rest — and explains what it usually signals, how long that stage tends to last, and whether it's worth following up. We focus on what the status realistically tells you, not wishful interpretations, so you can stop reading tea leaves and decide your next move.

A quick reality check before you dive in: status labels are inconsistent, often delayed, and sometimes never updated at all. A stuck status rarely means a final answer, and a missing update is normal rather than a bad sign. Use these guides to understand the patterns, then put your energy where it counts — into the next application.
