Hi,
I applied for 12 jobs so far.
For 3 jobs, the status is "shortlisted". Noone has contacted me so far.
For 2 jobs, the status is "processed". Noone has contacted me so far.
For 1 job, the status is "new". Easy to understand.
For 6 jobs, the status is "not shortlisted". Fair enough. Don't waste my time if you have other candidates.

Can someone let me know:

How long before these folks will contact me?

What is the difference between "processed" and "shortlisted"? Is a job application "shortlisted" first or "processed" first?
