What’s on this job application tracker

Company, role, date applied, status, contact/notes. Log every application. These are organization tools — they do not guarantee job outcomes.

How to use this tracker — 2 real scenarios

You log each application. You see applied, interviewing, rejected. You follow up on stale applications. The tracker prevents losing things in the shuffle.

Scenario 2: Comparing offers

You have offers. You look back at salary notes, company impressions. The log helps you compare and decide.

Example fill-out

Tech Co, Marketing Manager. Applied Jan 5, Interviewing. Contact and notes. Retail Inc, Applied Jan 8, follow up Jan 22.

Common mistakes (and how to fix them)

  1. Not logging from the start. Log every one. Day one.
  2. Vague status. Update: Applied, Interviewing, Rejected. Clarity helps.
  3. Losing job link. Paste URL. Saves scrambling when they call.
  4. No follow-up. Check in after 1-2 weeks. One email.
  5. Treating it as guarantee. Organization helps. Outcomes vary.

Customization tips

Status categories. Link to Interview Tracker. Weekly review. Job link column — always paste URL.

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.
