Can I cancel my job application?

The short answer is no. As soon as you hit the apply button on FastJobs, your profile details, contact information, and resume are sent instantly and directly to the employer's hiring dashboard. Because of this real-time delivery system, applications cannot be cancelled, edited, or withdrawn once submitted.

Please note that the FastJobs Customer Care Team does not have access to an employer's internal dashboard and is unable to cancel or delete any applications on your behalf.

What if I applied by mistake or changed my mind?

Don't panic! It happens to everyone. If you realize the role isn't the right fit for you after applying, simply wait to see if the company contacts you.

If the employer does reach out via phone, SMS, or FastChat, you can politely let them know that you have decided to pursue other opportunities and would like to withdraw your interest. Hiring managers appreciate honesty and professionalism, and it frees them up to focus on other candidates.

💡 Pro Tip: Pause before you tap!

We completely understand that the job hunt can feel overwhelming, and it is tempting to quickly apply to as many positions as possible. However, because submissions are permanent, we highly recommend taking an extra 10 seconds to carefully read through the job title, working hours, location, and description before hitting apply. Making sure the role aligns with your schedule and expectations saves time for both you and the employer!
