Overview

The Job Application Tracker keeps every application in one place. The Applications tab records the company, role, source, status, salary range and the next step with its date. The Interviews tab logs each call or interview, its format and whether you have sent a thank-you note.

The Dashboard counts applications by status and by source, and shows how many next steps fall due in the coming week. It comes with sample data for ten roles. Make a copy, replace the sample rows and keep the statuses up to date. Counts, dropdowns and the highlight for overdue steps update on their own.
