Your "job application status" is the stage of your application within the overall process of trying to get a job. Some companies have online tools with which candidates can track their status on their own. Often, though, you must contact the hiring manager to ask about your status.
Specific terminology varies by employer. "Under review" is a phrase that typically means your application is being screened by human resources or the hiring manager. "Applicants being selected" indicates that hiring managers are selecting candidates for interviews. "Referred to hiring manager" means your application has passed initial HR screening. A very general status is "in progress"; this typically means your application is somewhere between initial acceptance and final review. "Interview offer" means you have been contacted for an interview. "Job offered" means you were offered the position.

"Incomplete application" means the company wants additional materials from you. "Second group" or a similar phrase means you weren't included in the first round of interviews. "Position withdrawn" or "position closed" means you won't be considered for the position. "Vacancy filled" means someone has been offered the job and that person accepted.
