Frequently Asked Questions
How many applications should I track?
All of them. Every application. Even 'long shot' ones. You lose nothing by logging, and you might forget without it. Volume varies — 20-50 in a search is common. Track everything.
When should I follow up after applying?
1-2 weeks if no response. One brief email. 'Checking on the status of my application.' Don't follow up repeatedly. Some postings say 'no follow-ups' — respect that.
Should I include salary in the tracker?
If you noted it from the posting, yes. Helps when comparing later. Keep it private. Don't leave the tracker where others can see.
How do I handle rejection?
Update status. Move on. Don't dwell. A tracker helps — you see 5 pending, 2 interviewing. Rejection is part of the process. Stay organized for the next one.
Can this help me get hired?
It keeps you organized. You know where you stand. You follow up appropriately. Hiring depends on fit, experience, timing. The tracker supports your process; it doesn't guarantee outcomes.
