How to track your job applications
Track applications with enough structure to improve follow-through and conversion.
Jobapply does not currently provide an application tracker. A lightweight tracking discipline still helps you respond faster, prepare better, and avoid missed deadlines.
Set up your own tracker
- Use a spreadsheet, notes app, calendar, or tool you already trust.
- Track company, role, date applied, resume version, and current status.
- Update the status as it changes: Applied, Phone Screen, Interview, Offer, or Closed.
- Add notes for contact names, interview feedback, and follow-up dates.
Adding applications manually
For roles you apply to on employer sites, LinkedIn, job boards, or through recruiters, add the details to your own tracker the same day.
Staying organised
- Update application status the day you hear back — it is easy to forget if you leave it.
- Use notes to record follow-up commitments.
- Archive closed applications so your active view stays clean.
- Review your tracker at least once a week to identify where follow-up is overdue.
