# Jobs

To work and earn on Scholars, you must apply to and be part of jobs.

## What are jobs on Scholars?

On Scholars, employers create *jobs*, to which you can apply if you meet certain requirements. Once you are selected and hired for a job, then, you are bound to work on it until completion, for which you will be paid hourly.

## How do I apply for a job on Scholars?

Please consult the dedicated page on applying to jobs on Scholars, which also contains frequently asked questions about jobs and applying to them:

{% content-ref url="/pages/fWe4WThXMiFHPsJ7nqbm" %}
[Apply for a job](/how-to/apply-for-a-job.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

## Where can I see the status of my job applications?

From the home page, click on the *Applications* tab to see all of your applications and their status:

<figure><img src="/files/4Uep0DRepxTMqphj12OZ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The home page tabs can show a small count next to the tab name when there are items waiting for you, such as pending offers, invitations, applications in progress, active contracts, or assessments in progress. If there is no count, there is nothing currently waiting in that tab.

## 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="/pages/fWe4WThXMiFHPsJ7nqbm" %}
[Apply for a job](/how-to/apply-for-a-job.md)
{% 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:

{% content-ref url="/pages/u2LoBSeomScuIFgLNN0z" %}
[Accept or reject a job offer](/how-to/accept-or-reject-a-job-offer.md)
{% 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="/pages/RcMb7KIv8jwqBvJyaMbl" %}
[Track the time spent on a job](/how-to/track-the-time-spent-on-a-job.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

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

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.scholars.net/info/jobs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
