What should a job application tracker include?
A useful tracker should capture enough information to answer three questions: where each application stands, when you need to follow up and which sources or resume versions produce responses. Avoid turning the tracker into a database of sensitive identity documents.
Google Sheets workflow
- Download the Excel tracker above.
- In Google Drive, choose New → File upload and select the .xlsx file.
- Open the uploaded workbook with Google Sheets.
- Use File → Save as Google Sheets if you want a native Sheets copy.
The browser tracker and spreadsheet are separate. Export/import CSV when you want to move rows between them.
How to use the tracker during a job search
- Add the role as soon as you decide it is worth pursuing.
- Record the source so you can compare which job boards and employer pages produce responses.
- Set a follow-up date when appropriate instead of relying on memory.
- Record the resume version used so you can see which positioning performs better across similar roles.
- Archive closed applications rather than deleting your search history.
Pair the tracker with the Teal review when deciding whether a paid all-in-one workflow would actually replace enough manual work to justify its cost.
