How to track your job applications
Track applications with enough structure to improve follow-through and conversion.
Most candidates lose opportunities in follow-up, not in submission. A lightweight tracking discipline helps you respond faster, prepare better, and avoid missed deadlines.
Using the tracker
- Open the Applications section from your dashboard.
- Each application card shows the company, role, date applied, and current status.
- Update the status as it changes: Applied, Phone Screen, Interview, Offer, or Closed.
- Add notes to any application — use this for key contact names, interview feedback, or follow-up dates.
Adding applications manually
Applications submitted through Auto Apply are added automatically. For roles you applied to elsewhere (directly on a company website, via LinkedIn, etc.), you can add them manually by clicking Add Application and filling in the details.
Staying organised
- Update application status the day you hear back — it is easy to forget if you leave it.
- Use the notes field to record follow-up commitments.
- Archive closed applications so your active view stays clean.
- Review the tracker at least once a week to identify where follow-up is overdue.
