Status?

So I filled out the application, and had my phone interview. She said that she needed to call my references and if I was hired I'd get a contract in the mail. Does it sound like I was hired then? Also, I checked the site where I applied and it says my application is with a hiring manager, but it wont let me click on the status link. Once they make a decision will I be able to click on that link and see if I'm hired or not?

Yes, your contract should come up when you log into job net and you will be able to accept it online as well.
