To you, what does it mean to be on a company's "short-list" of candidates?
Graduating in May and a few companies have told me this as of late. Just trying to gauge interest, etc.

If you don't know what being on the shortlist means maybe you should stay in school a little bit longer

That they will hire you if the few people they picked ahead of you doesn't work out.

It just means you're from South LA.

Most businesses organize their candidates by height.

It's a euphemism. It means they're likely not hiring you.

It means a HR intern read the cover letter of your resume instead of throwing it straight in the garbage.

It means they're just trying to get you off the phone.

I'd say you should keep applying elsewhere, if it works out great. If not you'll have a back up plan.

Let's say following the "shortlist" comment, they said they're bringing me in to meet the managers next week.
Forecast looking brighter?

It's not looking very rad, bro
Posted on 2/17/17 at 2:30 pm to RadBro
You ain't too bright, are you boy?

It means you are not a slam dunk hire or in first place in the selection process.
