How to Interpret Badges

Positive Signals

  • 🆕 New: Great opportunity ahead
  • 📅 Interview: Making progress
  • 🎉 Offer: Success!

Caution Signs

  • ✅ Applied: Don't duplicate
  • ⏳ Waiting: Be patient
  • ❌ Rejected: Look elsewhere

Wait at least 2 weeks before following up. If you want to apply for a different role at the same company, wait 3-6 months.

Focus on preparation. Review your notes in the Research Panel and prepare for the next stage.

It's okay to reapply after 6+ months if a similar role opens up. Many companies track rejections for 6-12 months.
