Hi there,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

  • If there is no further information, this simply means that a recruiter has made a change to your application (e.g. added a comment, started processing your application). I would therefore advise you to stay relaxed and wait for the application process to begin.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hi there,

It means that someone internally made some changes to your application (e.g., moved a file around).

There's nothing to overthink here! Rather focus on things you can influence, i.e. your case prep.

All the best,

Florian

Hi there,

Q: My application status is application updated. What does this mean?

If there is no additional information, it simply means they made some internal updates to it – for example, they might have added some information related to the next steps of your application.

Good luck!

There should be some additional (or different) information in there, now that it was updated.

Hi there,

it is likely something internal. Otherwise you would have been notified with more specifics. You can't draw any conclusions from it at this point.

Good luck
