I applied for a job on the Lockheed Martin website and until today the Job Status stated "open". Today the Job Status changed to "cancelled". What does this mean?

Michelle, great question, sorry for not including this info in my e-book. A cancelled Req. means that the position is no longer needed by the hiring manager. Be on the lookout in case a similar position is re-opened soon, though-- sometimes REQs are cancelled if the hiring manager made a significant error in the position description, or entered in outdated information.

What position are you shooting for with LM? Also, thanks for your service in Iraq!

I appreciate the fast response. Does "cancelled" mean the position no longer needs to be filled and that no one got the job? I applied for the Flight Service Specialist announcement. I was really looking forward to hearing that I either got the job or feedback as to why I didn't. I'll keep on the lookout for a new posting though. Thanks again.

That's correct, the position is no longer needed. Even if they had already extended some other applicant a conditional job offer, the REQ would still show as "Open" until their first day on the job.
