Every application you submit on LWS Job Portal is logged and accessible in one dedicated place. The applications page gives you a complete record of every role you have applied to, the date you applied, and the current status set by the hiring company. You can filter the list to focus on a particular status, sort by date, and withdraw any application at any time with a single click — no need to contact the company directly.Documentation Index

Applications Page
Navigate to/jobseeker-applications to see your full applications history. The page header shows the total number of applications on record (e.g., “12 applications”) and provides filter and sort controls to narrow the list.
Application Card
Each entry in the list is rendered as a card containing:| Detail | Description |
|---|---|
| Job title | The name of the role you applied for |
| Company name | The organisation that posted the listing |
| Application date | The date and time you submitted the application |
| Status badge | A colour-coded badge showing the current stage of your application |
| Withdraw button | A red action button to permanently delete the application |
Application Statuses
The status of each application is set and updated by the hiring company from their own dashboard. As a job seeker you can see the current status but cannot change it yourself.- New
- Shortlisted
- Interviewed
- Hired
- Rejected
New is the initial status assigned to every application at the moment of submission. It means the company has received your application but has not yet reviewed it. Most applications start here and may stay in this state for several days depending on the volume of applicants.
Status labels are maintained by each company independently. The speed at which a company updates application statuses varies — some update within hours of reviewing, others may take several days.
Filtering Applications by Status
The filter controls at the top of the applications list let you focus on a specific subset of your applications. Select any status to instantly hide everything else:| Filter | Shows |
|---|---|
| All | Every application regardless of status |
| New | Applications awaiting company review |
| Shortlisted | Applications selected as top candidates |
| Interviewed | Applications that have reached the interview stage |
| Hired | Applications that resulted in a job offer |
| Rejected | Applications that did not progress |

Can I edit my application after submitting?
Can I edit my application after submitting?
No. Once you submit an application, the cover letter and attached resume are locked. Applications cannot be edited after submission. If you made a mistake in your cover letter, the only option is to withdraw the application and submit a new one — provided the job listing is still open.
What happens when I withdraw an application?
What happens when I withdraw an application?
Withdrawing an application sends a
DELETE /api/applications/:applicationId request that permanently removes the record from the database. The hiring company will no longer see your application in their applicant list, and the application will disappear from your own applications page immediately. This action cannot be undone.How are application statuses updated?
How are application statuses updated?
Statuses are updated exclusively by the hiring company from their recruiter dashboard. When a company shortlists, interviews, hires, or rejects your application, they change the status on their end and the change is reflected immediately on your applications page the next time you load or refresh it. You will not receive an automated email notification — check your applications page regularly to monitor progress.
