Track Every Role From the Start

The easiest application to lose is the one you were excited about yesterday. Capture each role as soon as you decide it is worth exploring.

At minimum, track the company, job title, link, application status, date applied and next follow-up.

Separate Status From Notes

Status tells you where an application sits. Notes tell you what to do next. Keeping them separate makes your dashboard easier to scan.

  • Use status for pipeline movement.
  • Use notes for recruiter names, salary details and reminders.
  • Keep interview preparation attached to the relevant role.
