Why wasn't my position application approved?

Understanding your application status and next steps

Updated over a week ago

To work a skilled position on Instawork, you need to:

  • Submit an application

  • Complete a coach call

You can check your position applications anytime in the app:

  • Go to your Profile tab

  • Tap My Positions

  • See the status of all your applications

You can also find this by going to Shift Access tab → All Positions → Manage Positions.

After those steps, your application may say “needs corrections.” Here’s what that means:

  • Your current experience doesn't match what’s needed for this role

  • You'll be able to apply again in 6 months

  • You can use this time to gain more experience

What you can do now:

  1. Update your profile to add work experience, skills, or certifications

  2. Mark your calendar for when you can reapply in 6 months
