filterByAssociatedEntry

I'm looking for more information (or example) for searching in entries based on an association. Currently I have a job express list and a application express list. There is a one-to-one association between the two, with a user selector attribute. I've the following code to determine if a user has already applied:

// 'applications' is the handle of the entries I need to look for.
$entity = Express::getObjectByHandle('applications');                
$list = new \Concrete\Core\Express\EntryList($entity);
// Current loggedin userID
$list->filterByAttribute('application_uID', $u->getUserID());
// Current $entry is the job I'm viewing
$list->filterByAssociatedEntry($entry->getAssociations()[0]->getAssociation(), $entry); 
$list->debug();
$items = $list->getResults();
