What does Application Submitted mean after you have been on an interview with Union Pacific Railroad...?

Question

Went to a hiring session, there were 8 positions total , but was only hiring for one person at the particular time.

Check status on line and it's still application submitted. Was told that it still could take up to 6 months before you are offered a job.

Answer 1

truly I think a quick call to the HR person would give the best answer, it's their job to clarify things and help you understand the process, but my guess is that you're being considered for employment, you havent been rejected.

Answer 2

usually  means accepted or sent

Answer 3

if you get a message that says 'thank you', it means you are no longer being considered for the position
