Your application will not be considered for the process ahead, and you may choose to look elsewhere for a better opportunity.
- LinkedIn is a very well-known company that has its orientation towards jobs and services. Its purpose is to provide job opportunities and support its users with its unique features.
- You may follow various companies to view their job updates and apply to them. You can apply for the jobs by providing them with all the necessary documents and information.

- Once you are shortlisted, the company will inform you officially through your email, and in case you don’t make it, your candidature will not be considered further. Hence, your application will read as “no longer under consideration.”
These were a few examples that involved a famous organization that updates its candidates regarding their application process.
Similarly, companies like Walmart, Facebook, Flipkart, Microsoft, etc., also post applications on their career websites and allow the candidates to track their application process for the applied position.
What else could be the reason for your application to no longer be considered?
- We have learned that the term “no longer under consideration” often means that the candidate is not considered for the position/role in the organization.
- Another reason seems to be that many technology companies have a term called “cooling-off period,” which means they will not be hiring any candidate for the particular position for at least a year.
Amazon is one such company that gives an update of not being considered for the role.
- There could be another reason that the positions have been filled, and they are not reviewing other applications for the same position.
- Your skills and experience did not meet the criteria of the job description posted by the organization.
- Sometimes it could just be a technical glitch. This means that the candidate has got a call or an email regarding the job application, and they are moving further with their candidature. On the other hand, it shows an update of their application form as “no longer under consideration.”
- So, this technical glitch could be ignored when the candidate has already got a call from the company and is ready to process the application.
- There is an option of withdrawing your application on the company’s website. After you apply, if you do not wish to continue with the process, you can withdraw the application. But sometimes, it shows “no longer under consideration” due to your withdrawal of the application. This is not a concerning thing for the candidate in such cases.
Therefore, “no longer under consideration” is just the status of your application form, not a full stop on your career.
So keep applying to the positions you feel you are compatible with. Rejections are a part of the selection process. Sometimes it is not your luck, but you will have numerous such opportunities waiting for you.
Many technical, non-technical, and business-oriented companies post thousands of applications for various positions/roles you could be fit for. So keep applying and enjoy the experience of getting hired by one of them.
