How to Check Your Application Status: Netflix, Nvidia, Google (Direct Links & Status Decoders)

You hit "Submit." You got the automated confirmation email. Now, the silence sets in.

The most stressful part of the tech job hunt isn't the interview - it’s the waiting room.

Most candidates waste hours digging through carrier sites trying to find the "My Submissions" page. We fixed that.

Below is your Application Command Center. Use the direct links to check your status immediately, and use our "Status Decoders" to understand what the HR jargon actually means.

The Command Center (Direct Links)

Don't navigate the homepage. Go straight to the dashboard.

The Status Decoder Ring

HR portals are designed to be vague. Here is the translation for the most confusing statuses at top tech firms.

1. Netflix Application Status Meaning

Netflix is famous for moving fast... except when they don't. Their portal is minimal.

• "In Consideration": (Good News) A recruiter or hiring manager is actively reviewing your resume. You are still in the game.
• "Interview": (Great News) You have passed the screen. Expect a recruiter email within 48 hours to schedule a screen.
• "Not Selected": (Bad News) You have been rejected. Netflix often updates the portal before sending the rejection email.
• "Offer": You made it. The formal letter is being generated.

Timeline Check: If you stay "In Consideration" for more than 2 weeks without an email, assume it's a "Soft Rejection." Netflix typically moves candidates to interview within 5-10 days.

2. Nvidia Application Status Meaning

Nvidia uses Workday, which is notorious for confusing statuses.

• "Review" / "Under Review": Your application is sitting in the pile. If it stays here for >3 weeks, the role is likely dead or filled.
• "Interview": You are in the loop.
• "Process Complete": (The confusing one). This usually means Rejection. It means the process has ended for you, not necessarily that the role is filled.
• "Inactive (No longer under consideration)": Definitive rejection.

Pro Tip: Check the Job Listing itself. If the job post is "Closed" but your status is still "Under Review," you have likely been ghosted.

3. Google Application Status Meaning

Google's dashboard is actually one of the most accurate, though slow.

• "submitted": You are in the system. No human has seen it yet.
• "In Scheduling Queue": (The Golden Ticket). You passed the resume screen! A coordinator is assigned to find you a slot. Watch your email like a hawk.
• "Interview Scheduled": Confirmed.
• "Not Proceeding": Rejection.
• "Update": Usually means they need more info (transcript, updated resume) before proceeding.

FAQ: Managing the Anxiety

"My status says 'Process Complete' but I never got an email. Am I rejected?"

Yes. 90% of the time, "Process Complete" without a prior offer call means rejection. Companies like Nvidia often silently close files.

"Can I re-apply if I get rejected?"

It depends.

• Google: Requires a 90-day cooldown period for the same role type.
• Netflix: Generally allows immediate re-application, but applying to the same role twice in a month will get you flagged as spam.
• Nvidia: No hard cooldown, but re-applying to the exact same ID is usually blocked by the system.

"It's been 3 weeks. Should I withdraw and re-apply?"

No. withdrawing wipes your data. It does not "bump" you to the top. It pushes you to the bottom of the new pile. If it's been 3 weeks, find a recruiter on LinkedIn and send a polite note instead.
