# How to change the status of a job

## Applies to: all SkillsTrust platform users

You can change the status of a job to show where it is in the evaluation process, for example when you are ready to send a job for review or to confirm it is validated.

### **Solution overview**

To change the status of a single job, open the job profile, click **Edit**, then choose the new  
status from the **Status** drop-down and save.

1. Select either **Overview** or **Job Catalogue** under the **Job Architecture** section from the left-hand menu.

2. Click on the job to open its job profile.

     1. **Draft:** the job is still being worked on.
     2. **Review Requested:** the job is ready for someone to review.
     3. **Validated:** the job has been confirmed as complete.
5. Click **Save** in the top right to apply the change and leave edit mode.
