Adjust "reviewed" wording on student dashboard

[benmelz]

Good Morning,

Would it be possible to make it so when an applicant completes the application and submits it, they get a confirmation on the site and are then redirected to anywhere else than the application page? People seem to be thinking that the app failed, and they resubmit an application.

Thanks!

Don

I mean, we do send you back to the "dashboard" and there is a success message, which I'd think would be enough. Guess not though. It would be relatively inexpensive/better to send them directly to the show page application they submitted?

The dashboard also shows the status of their application submission(s) and interview(s).

This really feels like not an issue. Perhaps "Please select the application..." could be adjusted to say something different when there are pending submissions. We could also emphasize/reword "Your application has not been reviewed yet", I guess?

As I thought about it, I think there's a possible point of confusion here in the two different uses of "review". Our app says that your application hasn't been "reviewed" and also provides a link to "review" your application. In one case we're talking about "...by a staff memeber" and the other, we're talking about "...for your own curiosity".

I think @werebus hit the nail on the head here. With this wording it makes it seem like it's your job to review your application. I'd change the wording to explicitly say "reviewed by staff" and use the word "view" when referring to the end user's ability to look at their application for their own curiosity.

Confirmed with Don that the student dashboard is already what he was looking for. So, no major changes needed.

But I think we should make the wording adjustment @Anbranin suggested.

It's been a while since I worked on jobapps, I'll take this since it's low-priority.
