If your application is "under consideration" what does it actually mean? I've been waiting and watching. I don't know what to do

It mean you're in the home stretch - you made the cut but not the final cut just yet. Keep applying, follow up with them, and you'll likely hear back shortly

Means you are in the running for the position.

Under consideration can mean any amount of things based on the company. My general thought is that it is somewhere in between we have it, but haven’t read it yet. Applications seem to take forever now, so I wouldn’t expect a speedy reply, or at least I haven’t been getting any yet.

It means that you're still in the running, but it doesn't mean much beyond that. Just that you haven't been eliminated. If you submitted an application and have heard nothing, I wouldn't be too optimistic. But things can take a while, so you may yet hear something positive.

Means they are looking at all applications and you may or may not here back. No corporation actually cares enough to be decent and be transparent.

From my expirence it meant you made the short list of applicants. I had a boss email me and say hey you are still being considered, but we have a few more interviews. And I got the job. Unless it was an automatic reply.

I would reach out to the company to see if they have had time to review your application.

50/50 chance you getting the job

I was told to apply to a hospital job by someone interested in interviewing me. The recruiter reached out. Asked for my availability but then didn’t respond when I gave her my availability.

Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?
