# Job statuses
The 'Job' datatype represents the specific piece of work that a Customer hires a Freelancer to do.
The 'Job Status' option set is used to set the status of the job throughout it's lifecycle.
1. **awaiting confirmation**
This is where the Customer submits a proposal to the Freelancer, but it has not yet been accepted by the Freelancer.
If the pre-built payment workflows are enabled, the payment has been authorized but not yet captured.
2. **in progress**
The job has been accepted by the Freelancer, but is the work has not yet been delivered.
If the pre-built payment workflows are enabled, the payment is now captured.
3. **delivered**
The Freelancer has delivered the work to the Customer and is waiting for it to be approved.
4. **complete**
The job has been marked as complete by the Customer.
If the pre-built payment workflows are enabled, the funds are now released to the Freelancer's bank account via a [Stripe Manual Payout](https://docs.stripe.com/connect/manual-payouts).
The Customer can leave a review of the Freelancer.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://cranford-tech.gitbook.io/freelancer-marketplace/key-features/job-statuses.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
