# 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:

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.

If your application is rejected, Scholars may email you with the rejection message from the team that reviewed your application.

### 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](/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. Open a contract from the *Contracts* tab to review its details, including the job, project, contract dates, rate, payment type, and payment cycle. Scholars also sends you an email when an accepted offer becomes a contract. The email includes key contract details and a link back to the contract in Scholars. You will be contacted by one of our project managers on how to work on the specific project.

Your contract can also include *Work Setups* with instructions or reference material you need before starting. Open the contract and review each setup. Depending on its requirements, click *Mark complete* or upload the requested document and submit it for approval. If a document is rejected, review the reason, update it, and submit it again.

The contract card summarizes your Work Setup progress before you open it. It shows when every setup is complete, how many are complete when work remains, and whether a rejected setup needs your attention. Select the card or its Work Setup action to open the contract and continue.

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.
