## What are the different job application steps?

### Application Submitted

This is the first step. You have passed all of the required assessments and you have applied to a job.

You can learn more about how to apply for a job here:

{% content-ref url="../how-to/apply-for-a-job" %}
[apply-for-a-job](https://docs.scholars.net/how-to/apply-for-a-job)
{% endcontent-ref %}

There is nothing you should do at this stage. If you are selected, our managers will let you know. In the meantime, you can take more assessments or apply to other jobs, if any.

### Offer Sent

One of our managers has selected you for a job and has send you an offer. To see the offers you have received, go to the "Offers" tab.

Learn more about accepting or rejecting a job offer here:

[accept-or-reject-a-job-offer](https://docs.scholars.net/how-to/accept-or-reject-a-job-offer)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### Contract

If you accept an offer, it turns into a contract. You can see your active contracts in the *Contracts* tab of your home page.

Your active contracts are your active jobs, for which you have been employed. You will be contacted by one of our project managers on how to work on the specific project.

Usually, you will have to record the time you spend working on a specific contract using our time tracker. Learn more about it here:

{% content-ref url="../how-to/track-the-time-spent-on-a-job" %}
[track-the-time-spent-on-a-job](https://docs.scholars.net/how-to/track-the-time-spent-on-a-job)
{% endcontent-ref %}

You will be then paid weekly according to how much time you spent on the project. See [this page on getting paid](https://docs.scholars.net/how-to/get-paid) for more.
