On a job application, submitted usually means you finished the form and sent it through the employer’s application system. It is a standard English word, not slang or a special employment term. As a status label, it generally confirms that the application was sent, but it does not by itself say whether a person has […]
If a job application says “screened,” it usually means the employer has reviewed or assessed your application as part of its hiring process. The word does not have one universal meaning across employers: it may describe a completed initial review, a check against basic requirements, or a conversation with a recruiter. Most importantly, the status […]
On a job application, referred usually means that a person, organization, or recruiting source directed you to the employer or recommended that you apply. A form may ask who referred you, or an application system may display Referred as a status. The word itself is standard English, not slang. Its exact meaning depends on where […]
On a job application, disposition usually means the outcome or current status of the application: for example, whether it is still being reviewed, has been declined, or has moved to another stage. It is a standard English word, not slang, but employers and hiring systems may use it as workplace terminology. The exact status labels […]

Organizations use application portals differently, so the exact meaning depends […]
Seeing “second round” beside an application can be encouraging, but it does not have one universal meaning. The phrase usually indicates that an application has reached a later stage of a review process, or that it is being considered in a later group. The exact interpretation depends on the organization, the kind of application, and […]
If an application portal says Offer Extended, it usually means the organization has decided to make you an offer and has issued, or is preparing to issue, the details. In a job search, that generally means an employer has selected you for a role and is communicating proposed terms. It does not necessarily mean you […]
Seeing “moved forward” beside an application usually means it has progressed to another stage of a review process. It is encouraging in the limited sense that the application has not simply remained at its earlier stage, but it does not, by itself, mean you have been selected, approved, or offered anything. Organizations use their own […]
An internal candidate application status is a label shown to an employee who has applied for a job at their current organization.
