JOB APPLICATION TRACKER TEMPLATE
Keep every job application moving forward.
Copy this simple tracker into a note, spreadsheet, or planning tool. It gives every application one clear next action.
The six fields to track
A job search becomes easier to manage when you do not have to remember what happened, what you sent, or what comes next.
Date applied
A clear date makes it easier to plan your follow-up without guessing.
Resume version
Note which resume or cover letter you used for that role.
Application status
Use a simple label such as applied, interview, waiting, or closed.
Follow-up date
Set a reminder for five to seven business days after applying when appropriate.
Next action
Write one specific next step, such as prepare examples or send a follow-up email.

Keep it simple: A tracker should reduce stress, not create more work. Update it after each application or conversation, then focus on the next action only.
