Job hunting can quickly start to feel overwhelming. One application turns into five. Five turns into twenty. And before you know it, you’re wondering:
Did I apply for that role already?
When was the interview?
Who was I supposed to follow up with?
That’s exactly why we built our Job Application Tracker. It’s a simple, intuitive tool designed to help you stay organised, confident, and in control throughout your job search.
Why should you track job applications?
Keeping track of your job applications isn’t just about staying organised. It can directly improve your chances of success.
When you track your applications effectively, you can:
- Avoid applying to the same role twice
- Follow up at the right time
- Spot patterns in what’s working (and what isn’t)
- Reduce stress and decision fatigue
- Feel more in control of your job search
Without a clear system, applications can blur together and important opportunities can slip through the cracks.
How to use the job application tracker
Simply log into your Google account, make a copy of this template and save it to your own Google Drive. You can also technically download it to Excel; however, it was designed for use in Google Sheets, so you might see things appear slightly differently and need to make a few tweaks of your own in Excel. We'd definitely advise sticking to the Google Sheet if you're able, but you do you!
If you have any difficulties, drop us a line at hello@flexa.careers and we'll help you out.
With our job application tracker, you can:
- Log every role you apply for
- Track application status (applied, interview, offer, rejected)
- Record deadlines, interview dates, and follow-ups
- Add notes about companies, roles, and contacts
- Keep your entire job search organised in one dashboard
Whether you’re actively applying or casually exploring new opportunities, the tracker adapts to your pace.
