Every job application on Lemyi moves through a clearly defined set of statuses. These statuses exist to remove guesswork and give creators transparency into where they stand, without false promises or hidden meanings.
Understanding these states helps you interpret brand behavior correctly and decide what to do next.
Submitted
Submitted means your application has been successfully sent and is waiting for review.
At this stage:
The brand has not taken any action yet
Your application is visible to the brand
No decision has been made
Important things to know:
Submitted does not imply interest or rejection
Review timelines vary by brand
Some brands review quickly, others take several days
This is a waiting state. No action is required from you unless you choose to withdraw.
Shortlisted
Shortlisted means the brand is interested in you.
This is a positive signal, but it is not a hire.
When you are shortlisted:
The brand sees you as a strong potential fit
You may be one of several shortlisted creators
No deal exists yet
No payment exists yet
Shortlisting allows the brand to request an offer through Admin. Until that happens, nothing is locked in.
Shortlisted does not guarantee:
A deal
An offer
Payment
Selection over other shortlisted creators
It simply means the brand wants to explore the next step.
Rejected
Rejected means the brand chose not to proceed with your application.
This decision can happen for many reasons, including:
Style mismatch
Budget alignment
Timing or availability
Internal brand decisions
Rejection is normal and does not negatively affect your account.
Important clarifications:
Rejections are not penalties
Rejections do not lower your visibility
Rejections do not impact future applications
Brands make decisions based on specific needs for a single job, not your overall quality as a creator.
Withdrawn
Withdrawn means you chose to remove your application.
You may withdraw an application if:
Your availability changes
You accept another opportunity
You decide the job is no longer a fit
Withdrawing:
Is always allowed
Does not penalize your account
Helps brands avoid confusion
It is better to withdraw than remain inactive or unavailable.
What Application Statuses Do Not Represent
Application statuses do not:
Reflect your creator tier
Affect your approval status
Impact your internal scoring
Guarantee or block future deals
They are strictly contextual to one job.
How to Use Statuses Strategically
Creators who use statuses effectively tend to:
Apply selectively
Move on quickly after rejection
Stay patient during review
Respond promptly if shortlisted
Treat statuses as information, not judgment.
